Understanding breast reconstruction

Why choose this treatment

Breast reconstruction aims to restore shape and volume to the breast after a mastectomy, taking into account the morphology, feelings and history of each patient. It can be carried out after cancer treatment, or as a prophylactic measure for women at high genetic risk. Depending on the patient's wishes and indications, implants, autologous tissue transfer or combined techniques can be used to achieve a harmonious, natural and long-lasting result. Over and above the physical aspect, it goes hand in hand with the restoration of self-image, body balance and a feeling of completeness.
