The duration of double mastectomy along with immediate implant reconstruction can take approximately 12-16 hours. The breast surgeon will attach temporary drainage tubes to your breast to make sure that any excess fluid has a place to go during healing. There are side effects of immediate reconstruction since the nerves are cut during the surgery and you are likely to experience numbness near the incision site. Scar tissue may build up around the site of your incision could cause pressure or pain.
Immediate reconstruction eliminates one surgery and allows the patient to recover quickly. Also, there’s a satisfaction that after the mastectomy, you get up with newly reconstructed breasts.
