Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that recreates the shape of a breast that has been removed or partially removed. The goal is to create a breast that looks and feels as natural as possible.

How it's done

• Implants: Saline or silicone implants can be used to reconstruct the breast.
• Tissue flaps: Tissue from another part of the body, like the abdomen, back, thigh, or buttock, is used to create a new breast mound. This is called autologous tissue reconstruction.
• Nipple and areola: A nipple and areola can be created using a tattoo, tissue from the body, or a stick-on nipple and areola.
