Breast reconstruction is surgery to create a new breast shape after an operation to remove the breast (mastectomy) or part of the breast. Breast reconstruction can be done using your own tissue (autologous tissue), a prosthetic implant (implant-based reconstruction) or a combination of both with the aim of reconstructing a natural looking breast.
