What Is Breast Reconstruction Surgery?
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure for women who’ve survived breast cancer but lost part or all of one or both breasts. The surgery can be a positive change after a breast cancer treatment that included a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Performed by a top plastic surgeon, breast reconstruction restores the look and shape of your missing breast(s).

Breast cancer is a deadly disease that afflicts one in every eight American women. The most recommended breast cancer treatment is a mastectomy, which removes all the tissue from your breast. The procedure prevents the cancer’s spread, but the results of the surgery — the loss of your breast — can be devastating. Reconstructive breast surgery after cancer helps you heal, physically and emotionally.

Who Can Benefit from Breast Reconstruction Surgery?
Breast reconstruction surgery helps women who’ve been through cancer treatments or lost a breast for another reason. The surgery makes it possible for you to fit into your clothes, regain your shape, stop using a prosthesis in your bra and generally get a boost of self-confidence.

Some factors that make you a suitable candidate for a breast reconstruction procedure include:

- You’ve had a mastectomy or lumpectomy and you don’t need further treatments.
- You’ve coped well with the cancer treatments.
The effects of your mastectomy have negatively affected your sense of self.
- You lost your breast to a wound or accident.
- You have congenital breast deformities, although tuberous breasts can be corrected without a complete reconstruction.
- You want to have a normal, active sex life with two breasts.
- You have realistic expectations about the breast reconstruction procedure and results.
- You’re in good overall health.
- You’re currently cancer-free.
- You don’t smoke.
