Women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer may choose breast reconstruction surgery to rebuild the shape and look of the breast. There are many different types of reconstruction procedures. Some procedures are done at the time of mastectomy or lumpectomy (Primary best reconstruction), while others are done later (Secondary breast reconstruction).

The options for secondary breast reconstruction are based on the remaining skin & soft tissue envelope. The discussion regarding which procedure will be apt for the patient will be done after physical consultation & evaluation by Dr. Krithika. The procedures offered are:

• Breast Implants
• Fat grafting
• Breast reduction on the unaffected side creates symmetry and matches the breast size to the operated side.
• Flap reconstruction- tissue is taken from your body (usually belly) and transferred with the blood supply to the recipient site.

In some cases, where the breast envelope is small/ thigh –pre-expansion with an inflatable silicone implant may be required.

Breast Reconstruction boasts the confidence of patients. Immediate reconstruction positively empowers the patient’s mental health and body image. And she never feels that she has lost her breast. It is highly recommended to spread awareness about the importance of breast reconstruction and its impact on a patient’s overall health.
