Description

Since 2002, The Breast Reconstruction Guidebook has been the best resource on this topic for women who have had a mastectomy. Equal parts science and toughen, it is filled with stories that illustrate the emotional and physical components of breast reconstruction. Kathy Steligo, a gifted author and breast cancer survivor who has twice had breast reconstruction, compassionately answers women’s questions about how they are going to respond emotionally and physically to losing a breast, whether to treat or prevent breast cancer. Steligo provides detailed descriptions of the quite a lot of surgical options for mastectomy and reconstruction, as well as information on choosing and paying for a surgeon, preparing for and recovering from surgery, and handling the many practical details and difficult decisions women will face along the way. A road map of the mastectomy and reconstruction journey, this book gives women the comprehensive, unbiased details they want to make their own informed decisions about whether reconstruction―and which reconstructive option―is right for them.

Readers learn how breasts will also be recreated the usage of implants or their own tissue and the advantages and disadvantages of each option. Surgery timelines, recovery, and potential problems (and how they are able to be resolved) are also explained. A new foreword by Dr. Minas Chrysopoulo, MD, of the PRMA Plastic Surgery Center for Advanced Breast Reconstruction, highlights the book’s strengths and offers a medical perspective on breast cancer and reconstructive surgery.
