Breast Cancer reconstruction is a very personal decision.  Not every woman will pursue breast cancer reconstruction after their mastectomy and not every woman is a good candidate for surgery.  However, depending on your unique situation, you may consider reconstructing your breasts for a myriad of different reasons.  Following reconstruction, many women feel a stronger sense of self-esteem and appreciate filling out clothing, bras and bathing suits. Because breast cancer reconstruction is an elective process, there usually isn’t a strict timeline on when to start the reconstruction process.  Your doctor will assist you in choosing the best time frame to initiate the process.
