What are the effects of mastectomy?

Breasts are a symbol of women. They are not only a sign of beauty, but also a necessity for feeding children. However, there are various diseases in the world, such as breast cancer, which has seriously endangered our health. When choosing between beauty and life, I believe many people will choose life, which means they will have to face the issue of mastectomy.

Can I still breastfeed after a mastectomy?

Breast reconstruction only solves the aesthetic problem of body shape and cannot restore the breastfeeding function. But it does not affect fertility and other functions. Jolie, who is already a mother of six children, has long said she will stop having children. For ordinary breast cancer patients, it is rare for both breasts to have lesions at the same time. If one breast is reconstructed after surgery, the breastfeeding function of the other side will not be affected and breastfeeding can be normal. However, after a long period of breastfeeding, the shape of the breast on the breastfeeding side will be slightly different from the reconstructed breast. If this affects the appearance, another surgery will be required on that breast.

Will it make you less feminine?

Breast reconstruction is a type of plastic surgery. It generally refers to a method of reconstruction in which breasts are no longer intact or not as beautiful as before after breast cancer patients undergo surgical surgery to remove the diseased tissue. The breasts are then restored to their original appearance using filling methods. There are two methods of filling: one is to fill with one's own body tissue, such as transplanting muscle tissue in the abdomen, buttocks, back, thighs, etc. One is breast reconstruction with implants. That is, it is filled with a prosthesis filled with silicone, silicone gel or saline. This surgery requires the insertion of a skin expander after the removal of breast tissue. Once a sufficient cavity has been formed in the local tissue, another surgery is performed to replace the expander with a breast prosthesis. This is the one Julie chose.

After breast reconstruction surgery, the reconstructed breast feels almost the same as the natural breast tissue, the effect is long-lasting and the appearance is realistic, and it will not reduce a woman's charm index at all.

Today's technology is so advanced and medical equipment is so complete, so everyone can feel at ease to undergo a mastectomy without having to worry about having physical defects after the operation. This is because there is a technology called breast augmentation, and many normal people have also undergone breast augmentation to make themselves more beautiful and have a hotter body, so those who have undergone a mastectomy do not have to worry about this problem at all.
