[PARTIAL BREAST RECONSTRUCTION BY MODIFIED BREAST REDUCTION TECHNIQUES].

Area of Science:

• Oncologic Surgery
• Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
• Breast Cancer Management

Background:

• Partial breast resections are common in breast cancer surgery, often causing significant cosmetic deformities.
• These deformities negatively impact patients' body image and psychological well-being.
• Existing breast reconstruction methods have evolved alongside oncological advancements.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the efficacy of cosmetic breast surgery techniques in reconstructing extensive partial breast defects.
• To assess the aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction following these reconstructive procedures.
• To compare the recovery and complication rates with traditional total breast reconstruction.

Main Methods:

• Application of cosmetic breast surgery techniques (reductions, augmentations, mastopexies) for partial breast defect reconstruction.
• Procedures performed in both immediate and delayed settings.
• Data collection on patient outcomes, aesthetic symmetry, and post-operative complications.

Main Results:

• Reconstruction of extensive partial defects achieved symmetrical aesthetic results.
• Recovery and post-operative complications were reduced compared to total breast reconstruction.
• Improved patient mental recovery and coping with breast cancer was observed.

Conclusions:

• Cosmetic surgery techniques effectively address deformities from large partial breast resections.
• These methods enhance aesthetic outcomes and patient psychological recovery post-oncologic surgery.
• Partial breast reconstruction using plastic surgery techniques offers a favorable alternative to total reconstruction.
