The goal of breast reconstruction is to restore the breast\u2019s natural shape and volume following breast cancer surgery. This can be achieved using a variety of techniques, with implants being the most common method. In some cases, however, tissue from the patient\u2019s own body may be used to enhance the result. Many women experience discomfort if their breasts are overly different or asymmetrical; therefore, it is sometimes necessary to reshape the healthy breast to create as close a match as possible in size, shape, and feel. <\/p>\n
Breast reconstruction often needs to be tailored to each woman\u2019s unique biological characteristics and personal preferences. <\/p>\n

Some women have a significantly increased risk of developing breast cancer due to hereditary factors. If you come from a family with a high incidence of breast cancer, you can undergo an evaluation to determine if you carry an elevated risk. If the evaluation indicates a high likelihood of developing breast cancer, you may be offered the option to participate in a monitoring program with frequent breast screenings or to remove the breast gland tissue to reduce the risk of breast cancer\u2014known as a prophylactic\/risk-reducing mastectomy. <\/p>\n
With this type of extensive surgery, there is a significant loss of sensation in the breast skin, and sexual sensation in the breasts is often completely diminished. It\u2019s important to understand these effects when considering a risk-reducing mastectomy.<\/p>\n

The choice of technique depends on several factors, including, of course, the patient\u2019s preferences as well as her physical conditions. After a breast reconstruction, minor adjustments may sometimes be needed later on to achieve a satisfactory result. These can include, for example, implant replacement, fat grafting, or surgery on the healthy breast to enhance symmetry between the breasts. <\/p>\n
At Victoriakliniken, we perform secondary breast reconstructions with implants, prophylactic\/risk-reducing mastectomies with implant reconstruction, as well as all types of adjustment procedures following previous breast reconstruction with implants or flap techniques.<\/p>\n

Typically, this procedure involves a direct reconstruction of the breast shape at the same time as the breast gland tissue is removed. A removed breast can be reconstructed in two ways: either by inserting a breast implant or by using tissue from other parts of the body to replace the removed breast tissue, known as the flap technique. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/www.victoriakliniken.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/victoriakliniken_kirurger_banner.jpg” parallax=”on” custom_padding=”7rem||7rem||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”7rem||7rem||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”7rem||7rem||true|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”7rem||7rem||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”5rem||5rem||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”3rem||3rem||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px||9px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”||on||||||” header_2_font_size=”2.7rem” header_4_font_size=”2.3rem” custom_margin=”||-3px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”2.2rem” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” header_4_font_size_tablet=”2.3rem” header_4_font_size_phone=”2rem” header_4_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” closed_toggle_background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” toggle_icon=”3||divi||400″ icon_color=”#A66D53″ use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”41px” icon_font_size_tablet=”41px” icon_font_size_phone=”33px” icon_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_font_size=”1.8rem” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.8rem” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.8rem” toggle_font_size_phone=”1.6rem” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.8rem” closed_toggle_font_size_phone=”1.6rem” closed_toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” border_width_all=”0px” border_width_bottom=”1px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item open=”on” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_font_size=”1.1rem” custom_margin=”5px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”1.1rem” body_font_size_phone=”1rem” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”2.3rem” toggle_font_size_tablet=”2.3rem” toggle_font_size_phone=”2rem” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop”][\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Stretch marks” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_font_size=”1.1rem” custom_margin=”5px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”1.1rem” body_font_size_phone=”1rem” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.8rem” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.8rem” toggle_font_size_phone=”1.6rem” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font_size_phone=”1.3rem” closed_toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stretch marks can occur when the dermis layer of the skin, which lies beneath the epidermis (the outermost layer of skin), is stretched and torn, something that usually happens during rapid growth or rapid weight change. Considering that breast augmentation, in a sense, entails rapid growth of the breast area, it is not surprising that implants CAN result in skin stretch marks. <\/p>\n The skin on the breast is generally quite elastic and resilient, making it very uncommon for stretch marks to develop as a result of breast augmentation. Stretch marks can form when the tissue cannot expand quickly or sufficiently to accommodate the growth that occurs, and this is almost never the case with women’s breasts.<\/p>\n However, stretch marks can sometimes occur as a complication of breast augmentation, and there are several factors that can increase the risk. One of these factors \u2014 implant size \u2014 is entirely controllable. The other \u2014 genetic predispositions \u2014 is not. <\/p>\n At the most basic level, it can be said that the larger the implant, the greater the risk of stretch marks. If your skin is very durable and elastic, you may be able to significantly increase your breast size with little risk of stretch marks. However, if you are prone to stretch marks (for example, if you have thin skin with low elasticity), you might choose a more moderate breast enlargement. If you are unsure whether you are prone to stretch marks, don\u2019t hesitate to ask your plastic surgeon, who can help you determine how it applies to you. <\/p>\n Can breast implants cause stretch marks? Yes, but only very rarely. With the right plastic surgeon, who helps you determine what works with your body, you are unlikely to be at risk of getting them at all. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Scar formation” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_font_size=”1.1rem” custom_margin=”5px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”1.1rem” body_font_size_phone=”1rem” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.8rem” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.8rem” toggle_font_size_phone=”1.6rem” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font_size_phone=”1.3rem” closed_toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After a surgical incision, the body produces collagen to repair the “damage.” Collagen acts like cement, filling the space between two bricks. Always too much collagen is produced, which is why we also produce an enzyme called collagenase that “melts” away the excess collagen. This molding process lasts for months. Collagen is produced, and the surplus is removed to restore the skin’s original shape. If there is an excess of collagen left, a more prominent scar will form. <\/p>\n A perfect balance between collagen and collagenase leaves the least noticeable scars. However, we often heal too well! After the skin has regenerated, we continue to heal, and the scar becomes, so to speak, larger than necessary. If we could force extra collagenase into our cells, we could dissolve this excess scar tissue.<\/p>\n Plastic surgeons and dermatologists have known for decades that there are ways to reduce the size of scars. However, until now, no method has been particularly comfortable. For example, it has been found that pressure bandages help increase the production of collagenase, and this has been used for burn treatment for over a century. Cortisone creams not only soothe irritated skin but also stimulate natural collagenase production. In extreme cases, doctors may use cortisone injections.<\/p>\n For decades, doctors have prescribed silicone sheets. Taping silicone film over a scar will reduce it. This was discovered in the early 1980s when a doctor attempted to apply even pressure to a scar using a silicone sheet. Scars treated with silicone appeared to diminish much more quickly. Vitamin E helps by working on the collagen fibers, making scars softer and more pliable. <\/p>\n Closing the skin after breast augmentation<\/p>\n The first step to achieving the best possible scar is to close the skin without tension. The skin may appear wrinkled initially, but it will smooth out over time. <\/p>\n After the skin is properly closed, what else can be done to minimize scarring?<\/p>\n What we do at Victoriakliniken is tape the breasts with silicone for 6 months after surgery. If you then wish to continue treating the scar on your own, vitamin E or a vitamin E-rich oil massaged into the skin can help. Massaging the oil by “folding macaroni\/cheese puffs” along the scar, both upward and downward, often helps soften the scar and make it more flexible (this technique also works well for other scars, such as those from a cesarean section). <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_font_size=”1.1rem” custom_margin=”5px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”1.1rem” body_font_size_phone=”1rem” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.8rem” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.8rem” toggle_font_size_phone=”1.6rem” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font_size_phone=”1.3rem” closed_toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n BIA-ALCL is a relatively new and very rare condition, but it is important for all patients with breast implants to be aware of it.

This is called capsule contraction and can cause the breasts to feel hard and appear more unnatural. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Loss of sensation” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_font_size=”1.1rem” custom_margin=”5px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”1.1rem” body_font_size_phone=”1rem” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.8rem” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.8rem” toggle_font_size_phone=”1.6rem” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font_size_phone=”1.3rem” closed_toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All breast surgeries can result in the breast and\/or nipple becoming either overly sensitive or not sensitive enough. This change can vary in degree and may be temporary or permanent. It can affect sensation during breastfeeding or sexual response. <\/p>\n You may experience numbness or hypersensitivity during the healing process, sometimes both. This usually diminishes over time. It is important to remember that it can take up to a year, and sometimes two, for full sensation to return after breast augmentation. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Rippling” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_font_size=”1.1rem” custom_margin=”5px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”1.1rem” body_font_size_phone=”1rem” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”2.3rem” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.8rem” toggle_font_size_phone=”1.6rem” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font_size_phone=”1.3rem” closed_toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are many factors that can affect the risk of “rippling.” The most important are the quality and thickness of the patient’s skin and tissue, the choice of implant type and size, and the technique used by the surgeon. While skin type is not something that can be altered, the risk of rippling can be minimized by choosing “denser” silicone implants (form-stable) that are not wider than the patient’s natural breasts, and by placing the implant under the muscle. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Rotation” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” body_font=”|300|||||||” body_font_size=”1.1rem” custom_margin=”5px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”1rem||1rem||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” body_font_size_tablet=”1.1rem” body_font_size_phone=”1rem” body_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}” toggle_font_size=”1.8rem” closed_toggle_font_size=”1.5rem” toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.8rem” toggle_font_size_phone=”1.6rem” toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” closed_toggle_font_size_tablet=”1.5rem” closed_toggle_font_size_phone=”1.3rem” closed_toggle_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” open=”off”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n All implants can rotate. This is usually not visible but is more apparent with anatomical (teardrop-shaped) implants, as they are asymmetric. If round implants rotate, the shape of the breast is not affected. When an anatomical implant rotates, the shape of the breast becomes distorted. If it is a simple rotation, the implant can be repositioned during a revision surgery (and, if necessary, the pocket in which the implant rests can be adjusted), or it may be replaced with round implants. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0rem||7rem||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”0rem||5rem||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0rem||3rem||false|false” da_disable_devices=”off|off|off” global_colors_info=”{}” da_is_popup=”off” da_exit_intent=”off” da_has_close=”on” da_alt_close=”off” da_dark_close=”off” da_not_modal=”on” da_is_singular=”off” da_with_loader=”off” da_has_shadow=”on”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”||on||||||” header_2_font_size=”2.7rem” custom_margin=”||-3px|||” custom_padding=”||30px|||” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”2.2rem” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|300|||||||” text_font_size=”1.2rem” text_line_height=”1.8rem” custom_margin=”||41px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”1.2rem” text_font_size_phone=”1rem” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We have chosen not to have a fixed price list, as each patient is unique with individual needs.

The extent of breast tissue that needs to be removed during breast cancer surgery depends on a range of factors. About the procedure The goal of breast reconstruction is to restore the breast\u2019s natural shape and volume following breast cancer surgery. This can be achieved using a variety of techniques, with implants being the most common method. In some cases, however, tissue from the patient\u2019s own body may be used to enhance the result. Many women experience discomfort if their breasts are overly different or asymmetrical; therefore, it is sometimes necessary to reshape the healthy breast to create as close a match as possible in size, shape, and feel. Breast reconstruction often needs to be tailored to each woman\u2019s unique biological characteristics and personal preferences. Risk Reduction Some women have a significantly increased risk of developing breast cancer due to hereditary factors. If you come from a family with a high incidence of breast cancer, you can undergo an evaluation to determine if you carry an elevated risk. If the evaluation indicates a high likelihood of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9409","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.victoriakliniken.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9409","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.victoriakliniken.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.victoriakliniken.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.victoriakliniken.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.victoriakliniken.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9409"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.victoriakliniken.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9409\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.victoriakliniken.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9409"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Possible Complications<\/p>\n<\/h4>\n
