Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is the re-creation of the shape of a breast after mastectomy.

It can occur during the same operation as the mastectomy (immediate reconstruction), or at a later date (delayed reconstruction).

Your Breast Surgeon will work with a Plastic Surgeon to help plan the best reconstruction for you.

Types of Reconstruction

Implant reconstruction

This technique uses silicon implants to recreate the breast shape.

​

Tissue reconstruction

This technique uses your own tissues to recreate the breast shape.
