What is Breast Reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that aims to restore the shape, size, and appearance of a breast removed due to cancer or other medical conditions.

Several techniques are available for breast reconstruction, including implant-based reconstruction, autologous tissue reconstruction, and a combination of both. The decision to undergo breast reconstruction in Englewood, NJ is personal and should be made in consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon.

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.
Scars will always be present on the breast, whether from reconstruction or mastectomy.
Specific reconstructive techniques will leave scars at the donor site, usually in less exposed areas 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 the symmetry of the size and position of both breasts.
