Breast Reconstructive Surgery Helps Cancer Victims

BEVERLY HILLS, CA, August 29, 2010 (Press-News.org) Dr. Calvert and his colleagues at the Rox Spa in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach, California often work on cancer survivors to give them the best possible results after a mastectomy. A mastectomy is a life altering surgery used to treat breast cancer patients. Both breasts are removed, along with the nipple and areola.
In order to save the woman's life, the breast tissue must be removed. What survivors are left with is a far cry away from their breasts before mastectomy. Scar tissue and very little of the original skin and breast tissue remains, though new methods are being used in as many cases as possible where more skin can be saved.
Women are often left feeling like less than women after their breasts have been removed and they have been through the harrowing experience of chemotherapy and radiation. A good plastic surgeon Los Angeles can help that feeling. Dr. Calvert is one of the best plastic surgeon Los Angeles breast reconstructive surgery doctors to be found.
Beating cancer is never easy. After these treatments have occurred, women are glad to be alive, but are often shell shocked, terrified, and to add to all of this, deformed from their mastectomies. It takes a strong support network to support these survivors, but more than that, it takes excellent doctors who are up to date on all the latest techniques and technologies.
Legislation has been enacted within the last decade that requires insurance companies to help cover the costs of breast reconstructive surgery. In most cases, breast reconstructive surgery also includes new breast implants.
Breast augmentation can give breast cancer survivors their confidence back. After breast augmentation and recovery, survivors can wear normal clothing and can sometimes enjoy wearing clothing they never wore before. The newly reconstructed breasts look natural and don't sag nearly as quickly as natural breasts do. Plastic surgeons are able to create natural looking areola and nipples and the skin on the new breasts can be grafted if needed. Sometimes the breast augmentation looks better than the original breasts.
Dr. Calvert, who is very well known for his work and is a trusted physician, often, does surgeries on those who live outside the Los Angeles area. Initial consultation and evaluation can be accelerated to fit the needs of cancer patients as well as others in need of immediate services.
