Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed to restore the natural appearance of breasts following a mastectomy or lumpectomy. It is typically done to improve a woman's physical appearance, self-esteem, and quality of life after undergoing breast cancer treatment. There are various techniques for breast reconstruction, including implants, tissue transfer, and a combination of both. The goal of breast reconstruction is to create a symmetrical and natural-looking breast that closely matches the size and shape of the original breast. This procedure can be performed at the time of the mastectomy or at a later time, depending on the individual's preferences and treatment plan.
