Breast reconstruction aims at the best possible management of a woman who has undergone mastectomy surgery, and is also considered part of an integrated treatment for breast cancer patients.
Mastectomy is a procedure that deeply affects a woman's psyche, causing a feeling of loss of confidence, femininity and sexual rejection since the breast is a symbol of beauty, motherhood and love.
Breast reconstruction involves the surgical effort of “re-creating” a breast that was removed by mastectomy. It can be done at the same time as the mastectomy or at any given point after the initial surgery.
There are many modern methods of breast reconstruction. You can find more information here on the methods that we apply. The choice of method is made based on the discussion and consultation of the patient with the plastic surgeon.
The biggest advantage and, perhaps, the most important one for the patient, is that they get a very good aesthetic result - which has a positive impact on their psychology, stimulating libido and on the whole offering better quality of life.
