Image for Breast Reconstruction

Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at rebuilding a breast shape after mastectomy or injury. It involves using implants or the patient's own tissue to create a new breast mound, restoring both appearance and symmetry. The process can occur immediately after breast removal or at a later time. Surgeons carefully plan the reconstruction to match the patient’s desires and body shape, considering factors like skin, tissue type, and recovery. This procedure helps many women regain their confidence and body image following breast cancer treatment or trauma.
