What is breast reconstruction? Breast reconstruction is needed to mimic normal breasts for groups who have had their breasts removed for various reasons or who were born with breast dysplasia.

This is more traumatic for the patient. Currently, it is recommended to reconstruct the breast with a single surgery, which is less time consuming, less traumatic and more realistic. Is breast reconstruction risky? Breast reconstruction is a Class IV surgery, which means that the risk factor and difficulty index are the highest. How to choose the timing of breast reconstruction? In terms of the timing of surgery, breast reconstruction is divided into immediate reconstruction and delayed reconstruction. Immediate reconstruction is the reconstruction of the breast immediately after mastectomy, where the mastectomy is first performed by a breast surgeon, followed by immediate breast reconstruction by a plastic surgeon, so that there is no experience of missing breast. If the patient requires follow-up treatment for breast cancer, immediate reconstructive surgery can begin radiotherapy once the wound has healed. Delayed reconstructive surgery, on the other hand, begins with radiation therapy after the mastectomy is completed, and then reconstructive surgery is performed six months to a year after the end of the surgery. If the radiation therapy is followed by reconstructive surgery, there is a higher chance of complications due to the affected blood vessels. Smile a lot to get rid of breast cancer.
