Breast Reconstruction
Diagnosis/Definition
Any breast deformity (congenital or acquired).
Examples:
- Surgical absence of breast s/p mastectomy (breast cancer).
- Congenital deformity of the breast.
- Significant breast asymmetry.
Note: Cosmetic surgery of the breast (breast augmentation and/or breast lift) is not currently available. However, reconstruction after mastectomy is available, as is reduction mammoplasty for macromastia (see specific Macromastia guideline).
Initial Diagnosis and Management
Diagnosis: Physical exam of breast.
Management: Referral to Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Ongoing Management and Objectives
Patient evaluation to determine if the patient is a candidate for breast reconstruction.
Indications for Specialty Care Referral
Same as above.
Criteria for Return to Primary Care
After surgery has been performed and the appropriate follow-ups with Plastic Surgery are completed, the patient should be returned to their respective primary care provider.
