Sorry, we do not currently
have any specific questions or answers for Post Cancer Reconstruction. We do have
these related questions:
What is plastic surgery?
Plastic surgery is a surgical specialty that reconstructs facial and body
defects due to birth disorders, trauma, burns, and disease. The plastic surgery
is also involved with the enhancement of the appearance of a person through such
operations as rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, facelift and liposuction.
Plastic Surgery - Why the "Plastic"?
The word "plastic" comes from the Greek word plastikos, meaning "to mold or shape."
Will I be able to cope with the pain after the procedure?
Each patient tolerates pain post-operatively in a different way. Some patients experience
pain as an ache, others have greater discomfort. Pain medications are prescribed
for post-operative patients, and these aid to minimize the discomfort.
Most facial cosmetic operations have minimal postoperative discomfort. Liposuction
is slightly more uncomfortable, and operations that require elevation or tightening
of the muscles, such as breast augmentation or abdominoplasty have discomfort
equal to that experienced after a cesarean section.
