Breast Reconstruction Surgery
You probably will have, or have already had, a mastectomy, involving removal of breast tissue together with skin and the nipple-areola complex. While this medically necessary removal is or was undoubtedly for the best, like many women in your situation, you may feel a great loss.
Considering what you are going through, the decision to opt for reconstructive breast surgery may be complex, and only you can make that decision. Many women opt for breast reconstruction not only because they wish to restore their whole body image, but also because it may allow them to bring a worrying time to a close. Opting for breast reconstruction can help you make a positive start to a new period in your life.
Breast reconstruction techniques have gained momentum in the past few years. Breast implant shapes and other options have also improved considerably. Although reconstruction can never make up for the loss of one's own breast, the results are generally very good.
The following can provide you with information on current techniques and options in breast reconstruction. The important part is that you know your options and make the best decision for your own personal well-being.
