What Is Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy or Lumpectomy?
Breast reconstruction is a form of reconstructive surgery that aims to rebuild breast shape after mastectomy or address selected changes after lumpectomy. It uses an implant, your own tissue, or both. The technique and timing depend on your treatment plan, tissue health and preferences; reconstruction does not replace cancer care or follow-up.
Benefits
Rebuilds breast shape after removal of breast tissue. May improve balance between the breasts. Results vary, and choosing no reconstruction is also an option.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Assessment considers your cancer-treatment plan, previous radiotherapy, tissue quality, available donor tissue, general health and goals. The consultation covers suitable options, expected stages, risks and the choice to delay or decline reconstruction.
Your Procedure
- Procedure type: Reconstructive breast surgery using implants, your own tissue, or both.
- Surgery duration: Depends on the technique, number of breasts treated and planned stages.
