A few years ago, my colleague had a breast removed because of breast cancer. Can this be reconstructed by breast plastic surgery?
Yes, you can. Patients with breast tumors have received or will receive tumor surgery, which often leaves some or all breast defects, causing great physical and psychological trauma to patients. For example: radical mastectomy, modified radical mastectomy, partial mastectomy, skin-preserving mastectomy and preventive mastectomy. In addition, patients with benign breast tumors will also encounter anxiety of partial or even total mastectomy, which can be solved by breast reconstruction. Generally speaking, there is no age limit for breast reconstruction, and breast reconstruction can be done as long as health conditions permit.

Breast reconstruction surgery can be divided into immediate reconstruction and delayed reconstruction, also known as primary reconstruction and secondary reconstruction. Primary reconstruction is breast reconstruction immediately after radical mastectomy, and at the same time as surgical treatment. In this way, there will be no experience of chest loss, and there will be no mental depression caused by physical defects. Delayed reconstruction was performed for a period of time after radical mastectomy. All patients have experienced the pain of breast loss, and they are fully prepared and need reconstruction. After reconstruction, they can not only restore the beauty of women's body curves, but also restore women's sense of spiritual loss.
