What is breast reconstruction?
Breast reconstruction is surgery that rebuilds breast shape and symmetry after mastectomy, lumpectomy, injury or a developmental difference, using implants, the patient’s own tissue or fat grafting. At Marble Plastic Surgery in Gangnam, Seoul, suitability is assessed at consultation by a board-certified plastic surgeon.
Reconstruction is individual: the right method depends on previous treatment such as radiation, the condition of the skin and the opposite breast. It is often completed in stages and may include adjusting the other breast for symmetry and reconstructing the nipple and areola. Cancer-related reconstruction is coordinated with your oncology team.
Who is breast reconstruction for?
Suitability is decided at a 1:1 consultation with your surgeon.
- Loss or deformity of a breast after cancer surgery
- Contour defects after lumpectomy
- Congenital absence or underdevelopment of a breast
- Patients cleared by their treating doctors for reconstructive surgery
How breast reconstruction is performed at Marble
- Consultation and planning Your surgeon reviews your medical and surgical history, examines the chest and available tissue, and explains which reconstructive options are appropriate and whether staging is needed.
- Anesthesia and monitoring A board-certified anesthesiologist selects the anesthesia with your surgeon, administers it, and monitors you continuously throughout the procedure.
- Rebuilding volume and shape Depending on the plan, an implant is placed, fat is grafted in layers, and the opposite breast is adjusted for symmetry; nipple and areola reconstruction can follow.
- Recovery and discharge You rest in a private recovery room under monitoring. Before you leave, the team explains wound care, medication and your follow-up schedule.
Recovery and aftercare
Recovery depends on the method and on previous treatment. Follow-up continues over several months as the reconstructed breast settles.
- At least 8 post-operative care sessions
