When Should I Consider Breast Reconstruction?

Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer that impacts women, and Dr. Fisher frequently sees patients seeking out breast reconstruction in preparation for or after undergoing a complete or partial mastectomy. Depending on the type and extent of the mastectomy, Dr. Fisher will work with you and your breast surgeon to design the optimal surgical plan to reconstruct your breasts.

Breast reconstruction can have a significantly positive effect on one’s quality of life, especially as one recovers from a serious illness. In many ways, breast reconstruction often serves as one of the final steps in the recovery process, enabling patients to truly return to their normal lives.

The Main Benefits of Breast Reconstruction

If you have undergone or are planning to undergo a partial or complete mastectomy, Dr. Fisher will work with you to help you decide which reconstructive procedure is the right choice for you. The decision to undergo breast reconstruction is a highly personal one, and might not be right for every patient. For those interested in restoring a natural-looking bust, however, breast reconstruction can come along with a number of significant benefits:

Improved confidence and self-esteem
Breasts that both look and feel natural
Restored sense of femininity
Improved quality of life

Partial Mastectomy

For patients who are scheduled to undergo a partial mastectomy, also known as a lumpectomy, Dr. Fisher will work with your breast surgeon to restore your breast shape and symmetry at the time of your surgery.

Complete Mastectomy

Patients scheduled for complete mastectomy will often undergo reconstruction at the same time with either implants or their own tissue.
