What you need to know about immediate breast reconstruction

In order to treat breast cancer and stop it from further metastasising, a mastectomy (removal of the breast or breasts) is sometimes necessitated. However, some patients can struggle with their self-image and confidence after a mastectomy due to the dramatic change in their body and silhouette. They may choose to get a breast reconstruction or augmentation surgery further down the line, but this means undergoing several major procedures, which can be tiring or even dangerous. An alternative for those who are undergoing a mastectomy but would like to maintain the breast shape is an immediate breast reconstruction, which is a surgery that combines a mastectomy with a reconstructive procedure at the same time. In this article, a consultant breast and oncoplastic surgeon explains this procedure, its benefits, and possible disadvantages.
