Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that rebuilds the shape of a breast after a mastectomy (surgical removal of the breast).

Breast reconstruction can be done at the same time as the mastectomy or at a later time. The decision on when to have breast reconstruction depends on various factors such as the patient’s preference, overall health, and type of cancer. Reconstruction can help to restore a woman’s self-confidence and improve her quality of life after a mastectomy.
