If the scar is red, lasers, may be able to reduce the redness. Also vitamin E may be helpful in improving the scar. There are many scar care creams on the market, available over the counter.

The amount of scarring depends on the technique the surgeon uses for the mastectomy. Generally, skin sparing mastectomies have less scars.

Scars are permanent but to improve their appearance we start a scar control program 3 weeks after surgery and continue it until the scars are flat, smooth and the right color.

Before the first meeting, I would do some reading about the various types of reconstruction in general terms. Our ASPS (http://www.plasticsurgery.org) web site is a great resource. Write down any questions that come to mind and bring these questions with you. Your doctor after examining you should help you to understand the procedure and your options.

The recovery time is generally 3 to 6 weeks depending on many factors such as the persons overall health, other medical problems and need for further therapies. The expansion process may take several months depending on the size desired.

There are many different materials that are given to patients regarding Breast Reconstruction. Some are form the plastic surgeon's office, some are from the implant company, others are from our society ASPS. Some patients receive all types. There is not a requirement to give out the booklets from the company but it may be helpful.

No, there is not one company that is better than the other.The silicone implants by the company Mentor or Allergan can be used equally. There is a new company named Sientra that has FDA approval to sell silicone implants but I have no experience with them yet.
