Reconstructive Procedures

Breast reconstruction restores breast shape following mastectomy or other medical treatment. Broad approaches include implant-based reconstruction, reconstruction using the patient's own tissue, or a combination. Procedures affecting the nipple and areola may follow as a later stage.

Reconstruction is usually a staged process rather than a single operation, and it sits within a wider course of medical care. It requires close coordination with the team managing that care.

People considering reconstruction are usually doing so in the context of ongoing or completed treatment for breast cancer or a related condition, or following risk-reducing surgery.

Where BTX is approached about reconstruction, we ask that your treating team at home is involved from the outset. Timing, suitability and the interaction with any ongoing oncological treatment are matters for those clinicians, and coordination abroad should not proceed independently of them.

Recovery depends substantially on the technique used and is generally longer than for cosmetic breast surgery, particularly where the patient's own tissue is used and a second surgical site is involved.

Your treating clinician will advise on the recovery timeline, on follow-up, and on when you may be medically fit to travel.

Your consultation allows the specialist to understand your objectives, medical history and suitability for treatment. The clinician will discuss:

Where requested and appropriate, BTX can help coordinate:
