Breast Reconstruction
Restore. Rebuild. Reclaim.
"Surgical restoration of breast form following mastectomy, using implants, tissue expanders, or autologous flap techniques — tailored to each patient's anatomy and oncological history."
Your journey
Oncology Clearance
Coordination with oncology team to confirm timing and approach.
Planning
Choice between implant-based, expander-based, or flap reconstruction.
Surgery
Reconstruction performed — immediate (at mastectomy) or delayed.
Expansion
If expander used: gradual inflation over weeks to achieve desired volume.
Final Stage
Expander exchanged for permanent implant. Nipple reconstruction optional.
Rehabilitation
Hospital
Monitoring, drains, pain relief.
Recovery
Restricted activity. Supportive bra.
Expansion
Staged expansion of the tissue expander if needed.
Stage 2
Exchange of the expander for a permanent implant.
Result
Nipple reconstruction on request. The final look is stable.
Scar progression
How the scar changes — from surgery to final result
Scars are placed within natural skin folds and become virtually unnoticeable over time. Proper care and sun protection speed up the fading process. For most patients, the scar blends with the surrounding skin within 12–18 months.
Suture removal
The scar is pink-red and slightly raised. Scar care begins — silicone gel or tape.
Active healing
Colour darkens to deep pink. The scar may thicken — this is normal. Avoid sun exposure and wear compression garments.
Maturation
The scar lightens, softens, and flattens. Itching and heightened sensitivity fade.
Final appearance
The scar takes on a silvery-beige tone and becomes barely visible, aligning with underwear lines.
