Reconstruction of the breast after a mastectomy due to cancer or other diseases is one of the most rewarding surgical procedures for patients who are often trying to deal with the many issues of being diagnosed with breast cancer. Using many new and innovative techniques you and your plastic surgeon can devise a plan to re-create a breast that is similar in form and appearance to a natural breast. This ability to reconstruct the breast helps patients "feel whole again" while still being treated effectively for their disease process.
