Most of Elective Mastectomy Patients 'Would Do It Again'
The study showed that 94 percent of women who had unilateral prophylactic mastectomy were satisfied with their reconstruction and 96 percent of them would have reconstruction again.
The complication rate for reconstruction in women who had bilateral prophylactic mastectomy was 3 percent and 10 percent for those who had unilateral prophylactic mastectomy.
In addition, the study noted the cosmetic assessment for all patients was a score of 3 out of 4.
"These women look and feel the same or better and their risk of cancer has been taken off the table. For women who know they are at risk, this option gives them the opportunity to be active about their health and appearance rather than reactive. They can have excellent cosmetic results, low surgical risk and a high level of satisfaction with their breast reconstruction. This is empowering for women," Spear said.
The study is published in July''s Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
