Breast Reconstruction Surgery | I D Cancer Centre Lucknow

What Is Breast Reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure that rebuilds the shape and appearance of the breast after mastectomy or lumpectomy. It helps women regain confidence, body symmetry, and emotional well-being after breast cancer treatment.

At I D Cancer Centre, Lucknow, our expert surgical and plastic reconstruction team offers advanced, safe, and natural-looking breast reconstruction options tailored to each woman’s needs.


Why Breast Reconstruction Is Done

Women choose breast reconstruction for several reasons:

  • To restore breast shape after removal of cancer

  • To improve body balance and posture

  • To reduce the emotional impact of breast loss

  • To feel more confident in clothing

  • To avoid external breast prostheses

It is a personal decision, and we help every patient choose what feels right for them.


Types of Breast Reconstruction

We offer all modern options based on clinical condition, body type, and patient preference.

1. Implant-Based Reconstruction

Uses silicone or saline implants to recreate breast shape.
Benefits:

  • Shorter surgery

  • Faster recovery

  • Suitable for many women

2. Autologous (Flap) Reconstruction

Uses your own tissues—usually from the abdomen, back, or thigh.
Common techniques include:

  • DIEP flap

  • Latissimus dorsi flap

  • TRAM flap

Benefits:

  • Natural look and feel

  • Long-lasting results

  • Ideal for women after radiation therapy

3. Oncoplastic Breast Surgery

Combines cancer surgery with cosmetic techniques to preserve breast shape during lumpectomy.

4. Nipple and Areola Reconstruction

Gives the breast a more natural appearance using minor surgery or medical tattooing.


When Can Reconstruction Be Done?

Reconstruction can be performed:

✔ Immediate Reconstruction

At the same time as mastectomy.
Advantages: fewer surgeries, quicker emotional recovery.

✔ Delayed Reconstruction

Months or years after cancer treatment.
Ideal for: women who need radiation or multiple treatments first.


Recovery After Breast Reconstruction

Recovery depends on the type of surgery. Most women can return to normal activities within a few weeks.

Common experiences:

  • Mild pain or swelling

  • Temporary drains

  • Gradual improvement in breast shape over weeks/months

Our team provides complete support, including wound care, physiotherapy, and follow-up assessments.
