Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that involves the reconstruction of breasts, usually using implants or the patient’s own body tissue, for women who have undergone mastectomy due to cancer or other diseases that resulted in the loss of their breasts. Breast reconstruction can be performed at the same time as mastectomy, but in some cases, it can also be done later. The procedure can help women regain their body image and confidence. Additionally, breast reconstruction may be included in the treatment plan for women requiring a complete mastectomy to prevent the spread of remaining cancer cells. The breast repair procedure should be performed by a specialist surgeon. The procedure can be customized to meet the individual needs and preferences of women. However, breast reconstruction surgery always comes with many risks and potential complications, and therefore, it is recommended that women consult with a qualified healthcare professional before making a decision.
Breast reconstruction may be suitable for women who have undergone mastectomy (breast surgery). Additionally, in some cases, reconstruction can also be performed during breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy). Suitable candidates for breast reconstruction include:

Breast reconstruction surgery can be performed using several different techniques. These techniques can vary depending on the patient’s condition, needs, and preferences. Some of the most commonly used breast reconstruction techniques include the following:
Implants: Implants used for breast reconstruction can be placed under the chest muscle or under the breast tissue. Cases where implants can be used include situations where breast tissue has been preserved during mastectomy or where a small tumor has been removed during lumpectomy.
Tissue transfer: For breast reconstruction, a person’s own body tissues (usually from the abdomen, back, or buttocks) can be used. In this technique, tissues are moved to the area under the breast and shaped to create a new breast shape.
Combined implant-tissue reconstruction: This technique is a combination of implants and a person’s own body tissues. In the first step, an implant is placed and then a new breast shape is created by transferring tissues.
Fat grafting: This technique involves injecting fat cells taken from another part of the body into the breasts.
Breast reconstruction is performed under general anesthesia and the patient may need to stay in the hospital. After the surgery, the patient’s recovery process and the activities they can perform can vary depending on the technique used and the recommendations of the surgeon. It may take 4-6 weeks for individuals to return to their daily routines.
The prices of breast reconstruction can vary from city to city. The cost is determined by the technique used, the patient’s needs, the doctor’s experience, and the pricing policies of the hospital or clinic. For detailed information on breast reconstruction prices in 2023, you can contact us.
