Breast reconstruction is the process of making a new breast after a woman has had her breast removed due to breast cancer. At U-M, we recognize the real importance this procedure can have for a breast cancer patient.
Women with very large breasts may experience back or shoulder pain, grooves on their shoulders from bra straps, difficulty exercising, and stress around clothing options. With breast reduction surgery, or mammoplasty, a patient may find relief of these physical and emotional symptoms.
The process of breast reconstruction using implants may involve one or two stages, often depending on the individual patient's breast size.
