Reconstructive Care
Care after something changes.
Understanding your options after injury, illness, or a change in function.
A different starting point
Function matters. So does how you feel.
Reconstructive surgery may address changes caused by injury, disease, or conditions present from birth. Depending on the situation, care may focus on function, appearance, or both.
The options depend on the tissues involved, your overall health, and any treatment you have already received. Some plans involve more than one operation.
Areas of care
Begin with your concern.
-
Breast reconstruction
A discussion about breast shape and reconstruction following cancer treatment. Timing and possible approaches depend on the wider treatment plan.
-
Hand & peripheral nerve care
Assessment of changes in movement, feeling, or hand function. An injury may involve several structures, so the starting point is understanding what has been affected.
-
Reconstructive microsurgery
Start with the condition you want to address, the treatment you have received, and the questions you would like to discuss. A consultation can clarify the options relevant to your care.
-
Lymphedema
Discuss your diagnosis, prior treatment, and goals with the practice to understand whether a surgical assessment is appropriate.
Planning ahead
A plan that considers daily life.
Ask how treatment could affect work, movement, and responsibilities at home. Recovery planning may include:
- Help from others at home
- Wound care
- Rehabilitation
- Follow-up visits
