Breast
Reconstruction Post Mastectomy Through The Use of
Tissue Expanders
Breast reconstruction is an operation to replace breast tissue
lost during mastectomy or lumpectomy, restoring the breast
shape. The aim is to match as closely as possible the remaining
natural breast by creating a breast ‘form’ with an implant
which
is placed beneath the skin and muscle that covers your chest,
or by using muscle from another part of your body. Breast
reconstruction can be performed immediately after the surgery or
delayed until a later time. For patients who will undergo
post-operative radiation, reconstruction is usually delayed.
