Surgery to restore breasts after a mastectomy is known as breast reconstruction. There are various breast reconstruction techniques. Implants are used in some methods. Others create breasts using tissue from your body, such as the belly.

Following a mastectomy, breast reconstruction can take place right away or years later. Multiple surgeries over a period of months may be necessary. Following breast cancer surgery, breast reconstruction may be performed right away (immediate reconstruction). Alternatively, it may take place months or even years afterwards (delayed reconstruction). Surgery to rebuild both breasts may be necessary. Alternatively, the doctor can swap out one breast for another and reshape it to match. The doctor might advise various operations spread out across several phases.
