Breasreconstruction : Breast reconstruction can be done at the time of mastectomy or after if that is the patients choice. If a patient has heart or lung problems these have to be evaluated before hand by specialists. Other medical problems and medications are evaluated as well. There also a number of options like fat grafting, one stage implant recon and the diep flap. We have many options to offer women for recon.
