Breast Reconstruction
Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Typically, breast reconstruction is performed following a mastectomy (the breast has been removed because of cancer), but occasionally techniques of breast reconstruction are used to treat women who have an abnormal development of one or both breasts. Breast reconstruction is achieved through several plastic surgery techniques that attempt to restore a breast to near normal shape.
Although breast reconstruction can rebuild your breast, the results are highly variable:
- A reconstructed breast will not have the same sensation and feel as the breast it replaces.
- Visible incision lines will always be present on the breast, whether from reconstruction or mastectomy.
- Certain surgical techniques will leave incision lines at the donor site, commonly located in less exposed areas of the body such as the back, abdomen or buttocks.
A note about symmetry
If only one breast is affected, it alone may be reconstructed. In addition, a breast lift, breast reduction or breast augmentation may be recommended for the opposite breast to improve symmetry of the size and position of both breasts.
