Breast reconstruction

14 January, 2021

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure in which a woman can restore the shape of the breast after its mastectomy - that is, after mastectomy surgery to treat or prevent breast cancer. Breast reconstruction using flap surgery involves cutting a portion of tissue from an area of the body - often the abdomen - and moving it to form a new breast.

Breast reconstruction using flap surgery is a complex procedure performed by a plastic surgeon. Most breast reconstruction using body tissues can be performed at the time of the mastectomy itself (immediate reconstruction), but sometimes a separate surgery can be performed later (delayed reconstruction).
