The process you and your surgeon ultimately choose will be determined based on your body type, medical history, previous therapy and surgeries, and your discussions with your surgeon.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>If You Choose Silicone Implants&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Breast reconstruction using implants involves surgically placing a breast-shaped silicone pouch\u2014 filled with either silicone gel or saline\u2014into your chest following your mastectomy. If you choose silicone implants, your surgeon might recommend a process that involves a single surgery to place the implants at the same time your mastectomy is done. Another possibility is a two-stage process which begins with inserting a balloon-like tissue expander\u2014which stretches the skin and soft tissue in the breast area, making room for the implant\u2014into your chest for a few months and then replacing it with the breast implant in a future procedure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>If You Want to Use Your Own Tissue<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you and your surgeon decide to use your own tissue for your breast reconstruction, your surgeon will relocate tissue from your abdomen, back, buttocks, or thigh areas to your chest to form your new breast. Depending upon the surgery that\u2019s right for you, your surgeon might move the tissue by tunneling through your skin to the chest area, keeping it attached to its original blood supply. In other cases, your tissue will be relocated by detaching it from the donor area in your body and then reattaching it in your chest area, forming a new breast. If your tissue is detached, it will be reattached using a technique called microsurgery, when a microscope is used to connect the tiny vessels to a new blood supply.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n\n                    \n                                \n                <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"hidden opacity-0  transition-opacity duration-150 ease-linear data-[te-tab-active]:block\"\n                    id=\"tabs-1\"\n                    role=\"tabpanel\"\n                    aria-labelledby=\"tabs-1-tab\"\n                    >\n\n                    \n                    \n                    <div class=\"content-heading max-width\">\n                        <h3 class=\"han-barlow-xbold\">Choosing a Surgeon<\/h3> \n                                            <\/div>\n\n                    \n                \n                    \n                    <div class=\"content-faqs\">\n                        <div class=\"faq\">\n                                                        <h5>Why might I have to wait to schedule breast reconstruction?<\/h5>\n                            <!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>In some cases it takes time for a patient\u2019s body to be ready for surgery\u2014for example, if you have another medical issue including another surgical procedure or an illness, we might wait to schedule surgery.
