Oncoplastic Surgery for Breast Cancer

Provided by Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley and Oakland, CA

The goal of reconstructive surgery is to restore the appearance and feel of the absent breast. A plastic surgeon can create a satisfactory breast mound and nipple complex in almost all women. This can be of great benefit by eliminating the inconvenience of an external prosthesis and altering your body image. This is an area of personal choice and preference.

Your plastic surgeon can give you detailed information about specific procedures. You must evaluate your own attitudes and lifestyle to make the decision.
