Reconstruction and Implant Options After Breast Cancer Surgery

It is critical that breast cancer survivors and patients who have had prophylactic mastectomy surgery are given access to information about all the post-surgical options that may be available to them. Patients who are candidates for post-surgical breast reconstruction should feel empowered to choose a treatment plan that best meets their needs.

In their article, Everviolet outlines different reconstructive options, including implant type and placement. Flap reconstruction involves complex microsurgery to use the patient’s own tissue to reconstruct the breasts.
