"Are there any types of benign breast diseases/conditions that would require breast tissue removal? If so, have people with any of those such conditions had breast implant surgery for reconstruction?"
Breast reconstruction is usually performed on a patient who has experienced trauma to the breast area, such as surgery due to breast cancer. In this case, a cosmetic surgeon or board certified plastic surgeon will work hard at restoring the breasts to their natural shape.
Below our doctors have provided you with their comprehensive breast reconstruction before and after gallery so that you can see their patient transformations and get an idea of what the procedure can do for you. For more questions, contact one of our doctors today.
