What is breast reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure to restore the shape, symmetry, and appearance of the breast following mastectomy, lumpectomy, or trauma. It can involve implants, autologous tissue (using your own tissue), or a combination of techniques.

Who is a candidate for breast reconstruction?

Candidates include patients who have undergone or are planning to undergo mastectomy or have experienced breast trauma. Your surgeon will evaluate your health, anatomy, and personal goals to determine the most appropriate approach.

What is the recovery like after breast reconstruction?

Recovery depends on the type of reconstruction performed. Patients may require several weeks for healing, during which activity restrictions, pain management, and follow-up appointments are important. Our team provides individualized guidance to ensure safe recovery and optimal outcomes.
