Breast reconstruction rebuilds the shape of the breast after mastectomy or lumpectomy. It may be done with implants or your own tissue (flap reconstruction).
Breast cancer reconstruction is a surgical option for women who have undergone a mastectomy or lumpectomy as part of breast cancer treatment. It rebuilds the breast shape to restore symmetry and confidence, using either implants or autologous tissue (flaps). Dr. Sumita Saha, our experienced plastic surgeon serving the Jackson and Battle Creek communities, offers compassionate, personalized care to support both physical and emotional recovery. Reconstruction may be immediate—performed at the same time as mastectomy—or delayed until after treatment.
What to expect
Your reconstruction plan is developed collaboratively with your oncology team and plastic surgeon. Depending on your choice, the procedure may involve multiple stages, tissue expanders, or advanced microsurgical techniques. Recovery timelines vary depending on the type of reconstruction and whether radiation or chemotherapy are involved. Follow-up appointments and ongoing support ensure your comfort, safety, and long-term results.
