Breast Reconstruction(after breast cancer)
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure to rebuild a breast's shape and appearance following a mastectomy. This process aims to create a breast mound and, in some cases, a nipple and areola, to restore a woman's body image. The reconstruction can be performed using implants, the patient's own body tissue (autologous reconstruction), or a combination of both. It is a deeply personal choice and can be done at the time of the mastectomy or as a delayed procedure, giving patients the opportunity to heal and consider their options.
