What is post-onco-surgical reconstruction?
Post-onco-surgical reconstruction involves reconstructive procedures performed by plastic surgeons to restore the appearance and function of body parts affected by cancer surgery. This can include rebuilding limbs or facial structures after cancer treatment.

Why might I need reconstruction after cancer surgery?
Reconstruction can help bring back a sense of normalcy and improve quality of life following cancer treatment. It can address physical changes, boost self-esteem, and aid in emotional healing.

What types of reconstruction can plastic surgeons perform?
Common types of reconstruction include:
  • Breast Reconstruction: Using implants or tissue flaps after mastectomy or lumpectomy.
  • Facial Reconstruction: Restoring appearance after surgeries for head and neck cancers.
  • Limb Reconstruction: salvaging limbs affected by sarcomas or other cancers.
  • Defects created on any other parts of the body.

When should I consider reconstruction?
Reconstruction can be considered immediately during cancer surgery (immediate reconstruction) in collaboration with your onco surgeon or at a later date (delayed reconstruction). The timing depends on individual cases, cancer treatment plans, and personal preferences.

What is the consultation process like?
During the consultation, the plastic surgeon will evaluate your condition, discuss your goals, explain available options, and outline the potential risks and benefits of each procedure. They will also address any questions you may have.

Are there risks associated with reconstruction?
Like any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including infection, healing complications, and dissatisfaction with aesthetic outcomes. Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you beforehand.

How long does the recovery process take?
Recovery time varies depending on the type of reconstruction and individual health factors. Generally, patients may need several weeks to months to fully heal and see the final results.

How do I choose a qualified plastic surgeon for reconstruction?
Look for board-certified plastic surgeons with experience in post-onco-surgical reconstruction. Check their credentials, read patient reviews, and ask to see before-and-after photos of previous patients.
