Why is Breast Reconstruction Done?
Breast reconstruction surgery can be done after a mastectomy for breast cancer or other reasons to help women feel closer to themselves physically and psychologically. It can also help women regain their older appearance and improve their body image after breast reconstruction surgery.
Some situations may indicate that it is not appropriate to have surgery. For example, if nose growth is incomplete for a young person, it may be premature to have a rhinoplasty. Likewise, surgery can be risky for people with health problems. In addition, some problems in the internal structure of the nose (for example, nasal congestion) may not be resolved by rhinoplasty, so other treatment options should be considered.
Who Is Breast Reconstruction Performed?
Breast reconstruction surgery can be performed on women who have had an operation that required nipple removal, such as a mastectomy. The patient’s lifestyle, health status, expectations, and other factors may also be considered in deciding whether to have the surgery. Women who wish to learn more about the surgical reconstruction option can consult a plastic surgeon.
Are Breast Reconstruction and Breast Removal Surgery the Same?
No, breast reconstruction and breast augmentation are different procedures. Breast removal surgery (mastectomy) is a surgical operation that involves the complete or partial removal of one or both breasts. This surgery may be necessary for reasons such as breast cancer or other health problems.
Breast reconstruction, on the other hand, is a plastic surgery procedure performed to reshape the space formed after mastectomy or to create a new breast. Breast reconstruction surgery can be done to create one or both breasts after mastectomy, or it can help women regain their older appearance and improve their body image.
How long after breast augmentation can Breast Reconstruction be done?
Breast reconstruction surgery can be done right after or after breast augmentation surgery. Some women prefer breast reconstruction surgery right after a mastectomy, while others may want to have it done later. The timing of breast reconstruction surgery may vary depending on factors such as the patient’s health status, treatment plan, and personal preferences. Patients wishing to learn more about the breast reconstruction option can consult a plastic surgeon.
How Is Breast Reconstruction Done?
Breast reconstruction surgery is a plastic surgery procedure to shape or reconstruct one or both breasts. The procedure can be done using many different techniques and materials and may require one or more surgeries.
Some common techniques may include:
- Implant reconstruction: Here, the cavity is filled using a silicone or saline-containing implant.
- Natural tissue reconstruction: This technique is performed using natural tissue from the abdomen, back or hips and can be used to create one or both breasts.
Breast reconstruction surgery is often personalized based on the patient’s health status, treatment plan, and personal preferences. Women who wish to learn more about the surgical reconstruction option can consult a plastic surgeon.

After breast reconstruction surgery, the healing process may vary depending on the type of surgery, age, general health status of the patient and the rate of healing of the patient’s tissues. Generally, 1-2 weeks after breast reconstruction surgery, the patient can go home and return to their regular activities. However, heavier physical activities and work at work can be limited to 2-6 weeks.
The following sequence of recovery gives a general idea, but each patient’s recovery process is different:
- First few days: Pain and swelling are normal and patients can take medications for pain control.
- 2-6. 2nd week: Swelling and pain are further reduced and patients can return to more activity.
- 6 weeks and later: The healing process is completed and patients can fully return to their normal activities.
After breast reconstruction surgery, patients should attend checkups by their plastic surgeon and should immediately consult a surgical specialist if they have any concerns or problems.
