Reconstructive surgery on the good breast! is it dangerous?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually no: Breast reconstruction often includes a procedure on the opposite breast for balance or symmetry. The timing of this procedure will be carefully planned by your treatment team. It is often performed in a delayed fashion, depending on the type of reconstruction (implant or your own tissue) to avoid any delays in your cancer treatment.

Not necessarily: It is common to perform a matching procedure on the non cancer breast after breast reconstruction for symmetry.
