The recovery period after the breast reconstruction period is around 4-6 weeks during which you should refrain from partaking in any strenuous physical exercise. However, you can perform light exercises in weeks 2-3.
Breast reconstruction in Turkey is performed either under local anesthesia and intravenous sedation or general anesthesia. The surgeon will decide between the two. The surgeon will make the first incision in the natural folds of the breast to ensure that the scar is easily hidden.
Either a flap, taken either from a donor or your own back, will be used to reconstruct the breast or a breast implant can be used. You can decide between the two options, and the surgeon will perform the surgery accordingly.
After placing the flap or inserting the implant, your surgeon will suture the incisions and that marks the end of your breast reconstruction surgery in Turkey.
