Breast Reconstruction

In breast reconstruction, the role of plastic surgery is crucial in the process of recovery, self-esteem, identity and return to daily life.

Breast reconstruction is a procedure to recover a woman’s body after a traumatic phase.

Breast cancer is a disease that affects 1 in 7 to 9 women throughout their lives.

In the United States, about 530 women are diagnosed with breast cancer daily. Currently available treatments allow very high cure rates, yet leave visible marks, physically and psychologically.

  • Radiotherapy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Partial mastectomy
