Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction, in Monterrey México, is an integral part of breast cancer treatment. The procedure is performed when one or both breasts are removed due to cancer or another disease.

The latest reconstructive surgery techniques, along with advanced medical devices, have made it possible for plastic surgeons to reconstruct the breasts in a way that comes close to matching the form and appearance of a natural breast.

At Monterrey Plastic Surgery we offer a wide variety of breast reconstruction procedures.

Breast reconstruction includes a variety of procedures performed to restore the form and shape of the breast, following mastectomy or lumpectomy surgery. Factors such as individual anatomy, aesthetic goals and the need for any postsurgical chemotherapy or radiation will determine your options. Discussing your cancer surgery with a plastic surgeon before undergoing mastectomy is crucial, because the proposed cancer removal surgery may significantly affect the choices and the results of any type of breast reconstruction.

Breast reconstruction also can be done many months or even years after mastectomy or lumpectomy. During reconstruction, a plastic surgeon creates a breast shape using an artificial implant (implant reconstruction), a flap of tissue from another place on your body (autologous reconstruction), or both.
