Breast Reconstruction / Post-Mastectomy Reconstruction

What is Breast Reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure to rebuild the shape, size, and appearance of a breast after mastectomy (breast removal due to cancer or other conditions). It helps restore a natural look and improve confidence.

Who can get Breast Reconstruction?

• Women who have had a mastectomy due to breast cancer
• Women who want to restore symmetry after breast surgery
• Anyone looking to improve body image and confidence after breast removal

What are the benefits of Breast Reconstruction?

• Restores the natural shape and appearance of the breast
• Improves symmetry between both breasts
• Boosts self-esteem and body confidence
• Helps women feel comfortable in clothes and daily life

How is Breast Reconstruction done?

There are different methods:

• Implant-based reconstruction: Using silicone or saline implants to recreate the breast
• Autologous reconstruction: Using tissue from other parts of the body (like abdomen or back) to rebuild the breast
• Sometimes a combination of both methods is used for best results

When can reconstruction be done?

• Immediate reconstruction: At the same time as mastectomy
• Delayed reconstruction: Weeks, months, or years after mastectomy
• The choice depends on medical condition, treatment plan, and personal preference.

Is Breast Reconstruction safe?

Yes. When done by experienced plastic and reconstructive surgeons, breast reconstruction is safe and provides natural, lasting results.

In short

Breast reconstruction restores the breast’s appearance after mastectomy, helping women regain confidence, improve body symmetry, and feel comfortable in their daily lives.
