Breast Reconstruction Surgery at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic

Undergoing a mastectomy or lumpectomy due to breast cancer or other conditions can be a life-altering experience, both physically and emotionally. Breast reconstruction surgery is a highly personalized procedure designed to restore the shape, symmetry, and appearance of the breasts, helping patients regain confidence and a sense of wholeness after breast loss.

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we are dedicated to supporting our patients through every step of their journey with expert surgical care, compassion, and a deep understanding of each individual’s needs.


Why Choose Breast Reconstruction Surgery?

Women choose breast reconstruction for many personal reasons, including:

  • Restoring breast shape and volume after mastectomy or lumpectomy
  • Rebuilding body image and self-esteem
  • Achieving symmetry with the natural breast when only one breast is affected
  • Completing the breast cancer recovery process

Our skilled surgeons work closely with each patient to create a customized plan that delivers natural-looking, satisfying results.


Customized Approach to Your Breast Reconstruction

At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, we recognize that no two patients are alike. We offer a range of reconstruction options to suit individual anatomy, medical history, and aesthetic preferences.

Common Techniques Include:

  • Implant-Based Reconstruction: Involves using saline or silicone breast implants to restore breast shape.
  • Autologous Tissue Reconstruction (Flap Surgery): Uses tissue from another area of the patient’s body (such as abdomen, back, or thighs) to reconstruct the breast.
  • Combination of Implant and Tissue Techniques: Some patients benefit from combining both methods for optimal shape and contour.
  • Nipple and Areola Reconstruction: Performed as a final step to complete the natural appearance of the breast.

We work closely with you and your oncology team to determine the best timing and approach for your reconstruction.


Consultation and Planning

A thorough consultation at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic ensures that you are fully informed and comfortable with your treatment plan.

During your consultation, we will:

  • Review your medical history and previous treatments
  • Discuss your personal goals and desired outcome
  • Explain the benefits and risks of the available reconstruction techniques
  • Show before-and-after photos of previous cases
  • Answer all your questions to ensure confidence and peace of mind

We prioritize a patient-centered approach to help you feel empowered throughout the decision-making process.


The Procedure: What to Expect

The surgical process for breast reconstruction varies depending on the technique chosen and whether the procedure is immediate (at the time of mastectomy) or delayed.

Surgical Steps:

  1. Incision Placement: Incisions are designed to minimize visible scarring and preserve as much natural tissue as possible.
  2. Breast Creation: The chosen method (implant or tissue flap) is used to reconstruct the breast mound.
  3. Symmetry Adjustment: The opposite breast may be adjusted (lifted, reduced, or augmented) for better symmetry if needed.
  4. Nipple Reconstruction: May be performed in a separate procedure after the breast mound has healed.

The length of surgery and recovery varies based on the complexity of the procedure.


Recovery and Aftercare

Breast reconstruction recovery depends on the surgical technique used but typically includes:

  • Wearing a surgical bra or compression garment for support
  • Managing temporary swelling, bruising, and discomfort with prescribed medications
  • Limiting physical activity for 4–6 weeks
  • Attending regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and progress
  • Following personalized aftercare instructions to ensure the best outcome

Our team is committed to supporting you through every stage of recovery with care and compassion.


Natural and Lasting Results

Breast reconstruction can restore a natural breast appearance and improve symmetry, providing a major boost to confidence and quality of life. Our surgeons focus on achieving results that are balanced, symmetrical, and as natural-looking as possible.

With proper care and routine health monitoring, the results of breast reconstruction can be long-lasting and highly satisfying.
