What is Breast Reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the shape and appearance of the breast after mastectomy or injury. It involves recreating the breast mound, either immediately after breast removal or at a later stage.

Benefits of Breast Reconstruction

Restores natural breast shape and appearance.
Enhances self-confidence and body image.
Provides balance and symmetry.

Offers a sense of normalcy after mastectomy.
Allows for a broader choice in clothing.
Can be done simultaneously with mastectomy or as a delayed procedure.

How Does Breast Reconstruction Work?

Breast reconstruction can be performed using various techniques, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences. Common methods include the use of implants or autologous tissue, where tissue is taken from another part of the body, such as the abdomen or back. The procedure often involves multiple stages, starting with the creation of the breast mound and followed by refining the shape, size, and symmetry. Nipple and areola reconstruction may also be part of the process. Our surgeons work closely with each patient to design a personalized treatment plan, ensuring the reconstructed breast matches the natural contours and feels as authentic as possible.

Post-Procedure Care

After breast reconstruction, it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s advice for a smooth recovery. This includes managing any discomfort with prescribed medication, wearing a supportive bra, and attending follow-up appointments to monitor healing.
