Визначення та Значення "breast reconstruction"

What is "breast reconstruction"?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at rebuilding the shape, size, and appearance of a breast after a mastectomy, which is the surgical removal of the breast. It involves using implants or tissue from other parts of the body to recreate a natural-looking breast. This procedure is often chosen by individuals who have undergone mastectomy because of breast cancer or other medical conditions affecting the breast. Recovery from breast reconstruction varies depending on the technique used and may involve multiple surgeries over time to achieve the desired results. The goal is to restore the sense of being complete and improve the patient's quality of life after breast surgery.
