Women Not Informed of Reconstructive Options Available to Them

The New York Times recently found that some surgeons are withholding information from their female patients in need of breast reconstruction. They are recommending saline implants for women who have to undergo mastectomies because of breast cancer. These women often have negative results after recovery. However, this is because they are not aware of newer procedures that would be more time-consuming and costly for the surgeons.

Grafting skin and tissue from the thighs and buttocks can allow women to re-grow their own breasts, to make them look and feel more natural. Many women are learning of these procedures after their own initial operations and expressing disgust with their surgeons. This is why it is extremely important to have an open and frank conversation before you begin the operation. You need to know all of the options available to you!
