Breast reconstruction refers to a series of surgical procedures to re-create breasts after mastectomies. These are usually performed as a result of breast cancer; the procedures must be integrated and coordinated into the overall plan for treatment as part of a team approach. Reconstruction is performed by transferring flaps of a patients own tissue (muscle and/or fat), placing implants, or both. A consultation with Dr. Ha can help you determine which of these procedures is most appropriate for you.
