Breast reconstruction often follows mastectomy for breast cancer treatment. This video details the options women have available for this type of plastic surgery.
Breast implants are a popular choice for women who have had a mastectomy. Patients can pick between saline or silicone implants, depending on their cosmetic preferences. Recent medical advances also allow plastic surgeons to use a patient’s own soft tissues when reconstructing the breast site. In some cases, patients may receive reconstructive surgery with a combination of implant and soft tissue materials. Women have a variety of choices for breast reconstruction; researching options and interviewing prospective doctors can provide patients with a more informed view of their options.
