FAQ

All types of breast reconstruction can be done either at the same time the cancerous breast is removed or later--even years later. Your doctor may suggest that one option is better for you, depending on your body and your health.

Implant reconstruction

The process of breast reconstruction using implants may involve one or two stages, often depending on the individual patient's breast size.

Male Breast Reduction

Gynecomastia is the medical name for enlarged male breasts. This condition can be alleviated through breast reduction surgery.

Natural tissue reconstruction

There are two main types of breast reconstruction: an implant reconstruction and a natural tissue reconstruction, known as "flap" procedures.

For many reasons, women may choose to live without breast reconstruction. They may feel comfortable with their bodies after their breast cancer surgeries or may not wish to undergo another procedure. Women who opt against breast reconstruction surgeries can either live without a breast replacement or use prosthesis.
