What’s Breast Reconstruction?

A: It’s a surgical treatment to “re-make ” the breast or part of it after removal of it completely or partially.

Q: Is there a universal option that can “fit all”?

A: No. Each case is unique. Some options can fit a patient and not another one. But General speaking, Tummy Tuck breast reconstruction, and implant-based breast reconstruction are two popular options.

Q: What’s the cost for such surgeries?

A: It varies and depends on the center and treating surgeon.

Q: I want to have silicone instead of the removed breast, but silicone can cause cancer?!

A: Silicon itself can cause ALCL, a type of immunological reaction to the foreign material similar to lymphoma. Very rare and reversible if silicone is removed. Nearly 0% with smooth textured implants.

Q: When can I be discharged if I underwent silicon-based reconstruction?

A: Same day.
