*Please note that these general example photos are all from Mr Turton’s patients and have not been altered in any way. The results are unique to every individual and take each patient’s personal expectations, circumstances, starting points and body morphology into consideration.
Breast Reconstruction BBR01
Before: Right Mastectomy and Level 3 axillary clearance and immediate reconstruction with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap & anatomical 250cc 410LM.
After: 6-months post surgery prior to nipple areola reconstruction
Breast Reconstruction BBR02
Before: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy to reduce tumour size. Right Skin Sparring Mastectomy and Level 3 axillary clearance and immediate reconstruction with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap & anatomical 150cc implant.
After: 10-months post surgery and adjuvant radiotherapy. Good resilience of this flap based reconstruction to the radiotherapy. Now due for nipple areola reconstruction.
Breast Reconstruction BBR03
Before: Right Skin Sparring Mastectomy and Level 2 axillary clearance and immediate reconstruction with fully autologous latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap.
After: 3-weeks post surgery. Nipple areola reconstruction is delayed for at least 6-months to allow for possible need for post-operative radiotherapy.
Breast Reconstruction BBR04
Before: Right Mastectomy and Level 2 axillary clearance and immediate reconstruction with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and 240cc anatomical style 410LF.
After: 5-weeks post surgery. Nipple areola reconstruction is delayed for at least 6-months to allow for possible need for post-operative radiotherapy.
Breast Reconstruction – Latissimus Dorsi Flap BBR05
Before: This patient had a previous mastectomy and requested reconstruction.
After: A delayed reconstruction was performed by Mr Turton using an extended fully autologous Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous flap. This is the result 6-weeks after surgery.
Breast Reconstruction -Latissimus Dorsi Flap BBR06
Before: An immediate mastectomy has been performed after initial chemotherapy to shrink the tumour (the line is still in place). An immediate reconstruction was performed by Mr Turton using an extended fully autologous Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous flap. Only a small incision around the areola was used on the breast to perform the mastectomy and to place the tissue flap.
After: This is the result at 2-years following a fully tissue based reconstruction at the same time as the mastectomy, using an extended autologous latissimus dorsi reconstruction performed by Mr Turton.
Breast Reconstruction – Latissimus Dorsi Flap BBR07
Before: Pictures prior to a right Skin Sparing Mastectomy and Level 2 axillary clearance and immediate reconstruction with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap, by Mr Turton..
After: This is the result at 1-year following a fully tissue based reconstruction at the same time as the right skin sparing wise pattern mastectomy, using an extended autologous latissimus dorsi reconstruction, areola replacement, and subsequent nipple reconstruction performed by Mr Turton..
Left Wise Pattern Mastectomy & Latissimus Dorsi Flap & Right breast reduction BBR08
Before: This is the pre-operative view before the left wise pattern skin sparing mastectomy & breast reconstruction with a pedicled deepithelialised latissimus dorsi reconstruction and areola replacement by Mr Turton.
After: This is the result at 1-year following a fully tissue based left breast reconstruction at the same time as the left skin sparing wise pattern mastectomy, using an extended autologous latissimus dorsi reconstruction, areola replacement, and subsequent contralateral wise pattern breast reduction and ipsilateral nipple reconstruction performed by Mr Turton.
Breast Reconstruction – Latissimus Dorsi Flap BBR09
This lady had a left skin sparing mastectomy, removing the nipple and as little asking as possible, even retaining a little part of the areola. She was reconstructed with an anatomical sub-pectoral implant and Surgimend ADM. The photo is at 6-weeks post op.
