Breast
Cancer Reconstruction Surgery
Breast Reconstruction Surgery is a
procedure to rebuild the shape, appearance, and symmetry of one or both breasts
after a mastectomy (breast removal) or lumpectomy due to breast cancer. This
surgery is a vital part of the healing journey for many women, helping to
restore not only the physical appearance of the breast but also emotional
well-being, body image, and self-confidence.
