Expert Care from Start to Finish
You will be looked after from the start of the fact finding mission, the proceedure, recovery and aftercare by Mr Kosutic and his team of experts. All in UK's centre of excellence, The Christie Private Clinic
Initial Consultation
At First Consultation, Mr Kosutic will analyse your problem and explain best surgical treatment options for your particular situation. He will take time to listen to your needs and give you objective honest opinion on what would be the most sensible management plan. He will take you through steps of breast reconstructive process and details technical aspects of each procedure, recovery and expected outcomes. Your imaging will be organised at that time and analysed with dedicated interventional radiologist just before your planned reconstruction. Once this is in place, a 2nd consultation shortly before the planned date for surgery will provide additional reassurance so we are absolutely certain you understand every step of the process.
After your operation you may notice -
- Moderate swelling of the reconstructed breast and abdomen will persist for 1-2 months
- Numbness in the reconstructed breast, donor area, and sometimes the upper, inner arm for 6-12 months
Your reconstruction site care -
- Dressings may be changed daily if present prior to discharge
- Only sponge bathing is allowed until all the drains have been removed
- Only light washing for at least 2 weeks after surgery and pat the skin dry afterwards
