When we talk about fighting cancer, our fight begins at detecting it early, but it ends at leading a happy and content life all over again. In case of breast cancer, often surgical procedures to remove the cancer leads to removing the breasts all together to ensure the life of the patient can be saved from this painful malady.

However, one must understand that for a woman, breasts form a large part of their identity. They might lose their hair to chemo, but they know it can grow back. The same is not possible for the breast and therefore it takes women a lot of physical and mental effort to resume their role in society due to the perceived stigma associated with it.

But science has a solution to this concern in the form of breast reconstruction surgery. For some cases only this is an option and can be performed in sync with the oncological surgery. For others however it can be an afterthought, owing to the increased complexity of their condition.

It is always wise to seek proper guidance and counsel on the surgical options available to the patient. Therefore, they must discuss this with their oncologists beforehand. In some cases the fat tissues from the body are harvested to form the breast again. In other cases tissues from our back or stomach are used.

No matter the approach, ultimately it results in the desired appearance of the patient, often back to their original shape or augmented (if applicable). Breast reconstruction can also be performed after the cancer surgery since most treatments include radiation or chemo post surgery.
