Breast reconstruction

Women who had lost their breasts for any reason are very prone to depression. It is better to help them through reconstruction of their breast, restoration of the appearance and symmetry of chest, and also helping their mood.

The right half and the left half of the body are not symmetric in most people and it has been proved that body symmetry is an exception. That is why those who want the operation must have realistic expectations and are not obsessed. In most cases, surgeons do not operate people with mental and emotional instability and obsession.

Breast reconstruction may require several surgeries.

Today, surgeons’ ability in breast reconstruction has increased so that these operations can be performed using skin tissue, lower abdominal fat, and dorsal muscles without the use of implants. Fat injections or breast implant can also be used for reconstruction after fat tissue expansion and using the skin of abdomen and buttocks.
