For Patients
Written By Enrico Bertoli

Informative material about breast reconstruction procedures after breast cancer

Breast reconstruction techniques have evolved significantly over the past few years to provide a wide range of options, which depend on the clinical situation of each patient.

  • BREAST RECONSTRUCTION WITH AUTOLOGOUS TISSUE: The breast is reconstructed using the patient’s own tissues: flaps of muscles, skin, fat.

  • BREAST RECONSTRUCTION WITH IMPLANTS: The breast is reconstructed using implants (usually silicone) and/ or tissue expanders that restore the shape of the breast.
