What Is Breast Reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure for women who’ve survived breast cancer but lost part or all of one or both breasts. The surgery can be a positive change after a breast cancer treatment that included a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Performed by a top plastic surgeon, breast reconstruction restores the look and shape of your missing breast(s).
Breast cancer is a deadly disease that afflicts one in every eight American women. The most recommended breast cancer treatment is a mastectomy, which removes all the tissue from your breast. The procedure prevents the cancer’s spread, but the results of the surgery — the loss of your breast — can be devastating. Reconstructive breast surgery after cancer helps you heal, physically and emotionally, from the trauma of cancer.
Breast reconstruction after cancer is an intensely personal journey, at times complex and overwhelming. Visit Rowe Plastic Surgery for a caring, supportive environment. By allowing you to be a partner in the decision-making process, the staff guides you in your path to wholeness, whether you’re newly diagnosed with cancer or you had surgery many years ago, whether you’re considering preventative surgery or needing surgery to address an urgent problem.
