Post Mastectomy

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure, or series of procedures, performed to reconstruct the breast after its removal for cancer or premalignant breast disease.

The operation is designed to reconstruct the missing breast mound, the nipple, and areola, and may even include prophylactic (preventive) removal and rebuilding of the opposite breast. Reduction, reshaping, or even enlargement of the remaining breast may also be done in order to give symmetry and comfort.
