what to expect
Throughout the process of breast reconstruction, patients receive personalized care from Dr. Holland. After a comprehensive consultation, which covers procedure details and expected outcomes, the surgery is performed at Mercy Hospital, which is coordinated with their Breast Care Center. Our practice is not contracted with any medical insurance companies, so all services rendered at our office will be considered self-pay. Regular follow-up appointments monitor progress, ensuring a satisfying outcome and enhanced confidence. Dr. Holland guides patients through the entire process and is available 24/7 following the procedure in case any urgent issues arise.
THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE MOVING FORWARD WITH breast reconstruction:
Maximum discomfort will occur the first few days after surgery and then will subside gradually.
It is not unusual to find that one breast is slightly more swollen and uncomfortable than the other.
You may experience temporary soreness, bruising, swelling, and tightness in the breast as well as discomfort in the incision area.
Your breasts will feel firm to the touch and your scars may be red and firm. The scars will soften and fade in time (approximately 6 months).
If you are sent home with drains, they will be removed at a later date in the clinic.
It is generally best to plan to take seven to ten days off before returning to work. If your job is physical, it is not unreasonable to take some extra time.
Please follow this list of medications and supplements to avoid prior to having your procedure.
