Breast reconstruction has become an important part of breast cancer treatment to help restore a woman's body image and self-esteem after mastectomy. There are several options for reconstruction, including implants, flaps of tissue from the abdomen, back, or buttocks, or a combination of procedures. Immediate reconstruction at the time of mastectomy has advantages over delayed reconstruction in terms of cosmetic results and psychological impact. Proper patient selection considering health factors and goals is important to achieve a successful surgical outcome and recovery.
