Thanks to the use of innovative surgical techniques, state-of-the-art and completely safe materials, recurrence is virtually eliminated after mastectomy at MDI Clinic. Complete removal of the tumor returns the patient to a healthy and peaceful life.

Indications for mastectomy

Such surgical intervention is prescribed by doctors of the clinic in such cases:

Breast reconstruction after mastectomy

At MDI Clinic, recovery can be performed immediately after removal, in a single surgical procedure. The latest implants that retain their shape after radiotherapy (post-surgical treatment of breast cancer) allow the patient to feel comfortable and eliminate the need for additional interventions.

The plastic surgeon starts immediately after the oncologic surgeon in the same operating room. Tissues for recovery are taken from the abdomen or back. That said, the latter option is considered less traumatic and requires less recovery time. Using abdominal tissue allows for a more natural appearance to the breasts, due to the larger amount of fatty tissue. In addition to your own tissue, silicone implants are used for reconstruction.

Immediate breast reconstruction is the best option compared to a separate plastic surgery, both in terms of results and based on the stresses on the body due to the additional surgical intervention.
