Breast Reconstruction

What is breast reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction is a variety of procedures that restore your breast’s form and shape following a mastectomy or lumpectomy surgery.

Why get a breast reconstruction surgery?
If you had a mastectomy or lumpectomy surgery, reconstructive breast surgery may be right for you. It’s important to discuss your cancer surgery with an aesthetic plastic surgeon before undergoing mastectomy. The proposed cancer removal surgery may significantly affect the choices and the results of your breast reconstruction. Factors such as individual anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the need for any post-surgical chemotherapy or radiation will determine your options.

Below are some of the benefits of breast reconstruction:

Restore your feelings of femininity
Improve symmetry if only one of your breasts is affected
Feel more comfortable and confident in clothes and swimwear
Remove reminders of your mastectomy and breast cancer experience
Avoid wearing external breast forms or pads
Feel like you again and restore confidence in your sexuality
