There are two main types of Breast Reconstruction Surgery.

  • Implant Reconstruction: In this, a silicone or saline implant is used to create a breast shape.

  • Flap Reconstruction: In this, the surgeon takes tissue from another part of your body to create the breast. There can be many types of flaps.

A combination of both types is sometimes used to rebuild a breast.

The shape of the reconstructed breast will depend on the type of reconstruction used—implants or flaps. In the case of a saline implant, the breasts look round, whereas silicone implants can be contoured to look the same and natural. Flap reconstruction also results in natural-looking breasts.
