Breast Reconstruction
Breast loss or changes in breast shape can occur due to medical procedures such as mastectomy, trauma, congenital abnormalities, or other specific conditions. This condition not only has a physical impact but can also affect self-image and quality of life.
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that aims to reshape the breast to be proportional and balanced with the body, using a safe and medically controlled approach.
