There's nothing sexy about a double mastectomy. xxxl A day after Angelina Jolie announced she had one, her doctor has a more complete explanation of the actress's operations, including a painful "nipple delay" process. So far it seems, Jolie is well to recover, xxxl and her nipples are intact. But it was not and is not going to be easy-.
Two weeks before her mastectomies in mid-February, Jolie underwent a nipple xxxl delay procedure a complicated step in a nipple-sparing mastectomy, which involves removal of a small amount of tissue under the nipple to ensure that not malignant (when it was the preservation of the nipple will, of course, a dangerous undertaking). Some blood vessels are cut in the removal of that tissue, so that the nipple becomes accustomed to a majority of its blood supply from the surrounding skin.
"It reduces the risk of a nipple slowly xxxl dying, in which case it would turn black and need to be removed," said Dr. Joshua Levine, chief of surgical services at the New York Center for the Advancement of Breast xxxl Reconstruction. According to Levine, the nipple dies or survives within two or three days of the procedure. What is the chance that the "nipple delay" will be successful? xxxl
There is no known figures when it comes to the success of the nipple xxxl delays, according to Levine. But the chances of a successful operation increases as the breast surgeon has lots of experience with the process.
Jolie's doctor is the integration of nipple delays in her practice since 2008 and claims her nipple xxxl loss in patients decreased to 2 percent. "In Angelina's case, she judged xxxl it worth the extra step of caution," Jolie's doctor, Dr. Kristie Funk, in a
"In a large chest, the nipple can be 40 centimeters away from the sternum, which is a long way for the blood to travel," says Levine. Without adequate blood supply, the nipple is much more likely xxxl to die.
"These nipples are when it's cold and they do not respond to stimulation," says Dr. Judy Garber, director of the Center for Genetics and pollution at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. "For all feeling in your breasts is a big trade-off for a lot of women. Many with a faulty version of either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene will not have a mastectomy does not matter what you say to them "
Jolie was elected to the operation known as the TRAM flap involves using the patient's own body tissue rather than the silicone breast reconstruction, significantly increasing the chances of keeping sensation. xxxl
The TRAM flap require more surgeries and a much longer recovery period, says Levine, who recommends that his patients take a month off from work as a result of the operation. But he insists the long-term outcome is better. "The breasts look like they feel like breasts, and they behave like breasts."
For a woman who built much of her career xxxl on a sex-symbol, the fact that she was willing to be a part of her body that is closely linked to female sexuality xxxl for the sake of her health loss, says a lot about Her priorities. That she still feels fully female speaks to the success of her surgery.
Jolie's doctor said her body type is "best suited for an implant reconstruction with graft," xxxl or traanvormig silicone implants in addition to synthetic materials (the graft) that the breast look more natural.
"Sometimes xxxl little ripples xxxl will develop in the silicone that can lead to further operations," said Garber. Another possible side effect is known as a contraction in which the silicone implant changes shape. Garber also notes that for many women, breast reconstruction involves xxxl a number of small, follow-up surgeries-something that does not come in Jolie's piece.
Jolie also chose the mastectomy incision under the breast in the fold that
