Breast Restore
Breast cancer does not have an age number, but it mostly strikes women in their forties. In India, it accounts for 25% to 31% of all cancers in women. Surprisingly, it has been observed that there is a significant shift in the average age of developing breast cancer, which has dropped from 50 – 70 years to 30 – 50 years. Breast cancers begin in the ducts that carry milk to the nipple and sometimes it can also happen in the glands that make breast milk.

Breast Cancer
Obesity, lack of physical exercise, alcohol, late pregnancy, family history of breast cancer are some of the things that lead to breast cancer. Women should watch out for signs like a lump in the breast, skin dimpling, fluid discharge from the nipple, breast shape changes, a newly inverted nipple, or a red patch of skin.
Mastectomy
Mastectomy involves remaining for the breast tissue to get rid of any cancer in the breast region. It is known to cure cancer almost entirely. A mastectomy involves the removal of remaining breast tissue. It is essential to let your oncologist know about your views on breast reconstruction, thus preparing from appropriate surgery.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction helps to cope with the mental stress caused by breast cancer and the subsequent treatment. Women have a positive outlook and realistic goals after breast restoration and body image. Breast reconstruction is a physically and emotionally rewarding procedure for a woman who has lost a breast due to cancer. The creation of a new chest enhances self-image and confidence. But keep in mind that the reconstructed breast will not be a perfect match or substitute for your natural breast. If tissue from your tummy, back, or buttocks will be used, those areas will also look different after surgery.
Speak to your surgeon about surgical scars and changes in shape. Find out where they will be, and how they will look once it is healed. Breast reconstruction often means having more than one operation. The first one is when breast mound is created. This may be done at the same time as the mastectomy or later on. It’s usually done in a hospital, and the follow-up procedures such as filling expanders or creating the nipple and areola are needed, they may also be done in the hospital, or an outpatient facility. So when the patient finally decides to go for breast reconstruction, first, it is essential to talk with the plastic surgeon before the mastectomy. A surgeon can reconstruct the breast in many ways. Some women choose to have breast implants filled with saline or silicone gel or some use their body fat.
Why You Need Breast Reconstruction
Breast Cancer brings significant damage to the body. However, the treatments to fight breast cancer puts the person’s mind and heart into constant despair. With endless visits to the oncologists, mastectomy and heaps of medicines; the struggle doesn’t end. It continues with prolonged chemotherapy that takes your hair, body weight and much more.
In such times and masquerading through the anxiety, self-doubt, sympathy and identity only as a breast cancer survivor is what makes women sulk after the mastectomy. The feeling that the sensuality of her delicate parts is all gone is one hard blow to the women, regardless of age.
Losing womanhood, yet conquering the wars.
Breasts have always been the mascot of womanhood across cultures. There can be several debates on whether one should feel like that or not. However, the fact remains that women love their breasts more than anything. Endless products, clothes and lingerie to emboss, minimise or simply showcase the beauty of femininity exists.
Cancer takes it all away in a bit.
Breast Restore does nothing but gives completely natural options to cover the scars and fulfilling life free from several synthetic options to hide the scars.
Cancer in body cures but stays in mind.
Breast cancer patients, even after their complete healing, are forced to leave a life of patients due to missing mass of muscle. Breast Restore aims at focused and dedicated assistance to breast cancer patients before, during and after their mastectomy. The concept of breast reconstruction is well known in the western world. Many Indian celebrities often opt for breast reconstruction; however, the general awareness about such surgeries is unheard of in India to the masses.
Breast Reconstruction has more intangible benefits that the visible and tangible one. Through our research and conversations with 100s of the patient, we know how much it matters to women to have healthy boobs on her body. Women are no longer dependent and restricted indoors, they meet and greet many people throughout their lives. A single bump of cancer should take everything they have built from them. Thus, Breast Reconstruction.
