Breast Resensation

What It Is And Why It’s Done

Mastectomy is a vital surgery done to remove cancerous tissues. It’s a critical procedure to save the lives of women with cancer but it often leads to loss of sensation. A lack of sensation can affect your ability to enjoy sexual contact, your confidence, and put you at risk of injury since the nerves will not work properly. Fortunately, there is a solution you can use to change that – breast resensation. 

What is it?

Resensation is a surgical procedure performed after a mastectomy to help patients restore sensation. It reconnects the nerve that remains in your chest after the mastectomy procedure. 

Why do it?

There are numerous reasons why you should do breast resensation. Some of them include:

Positive body image

The loss of sensation leaves your breasts with a different feeling. You’ll feel disconnected from your breasts after mastectomy. With resensation, you can regain your feminity and have a positive image.

Emotional health

Mastectomy can affect your body image, but with a resensation procedure, you can easily get away from emotional pain and begin healing.

Improved quality of life

Numb breasts can affect several aspects of your life. You can’t experience physical moments like an intimate touch when you have breast resensation.

How is it done?

The resensation procedure is done at the same time as the free flap reconstruction. The surgeon reconnects the nerves using the allograft nerve tissue. The nerves begin to regenerate and become part of the body. The nerve fibers will restore sensation to the breast as they grow. Once the sensation is restored, you can feel a hug from your kids, intimate touch, or a cool breeze when on the beach. You’ll not only look good but feel good as well.
