Frequently Asked Questions
What is breast reconstruction?
In aesthetic plastic surgery, breast reconstruction reshapes and restores the breast’s form and size, using implants or the patient’s own tissue. The goal is to achieve a natural, symmetrical appearance, enhancing the body’s overall contour and balance. This procedure is often chosen to correct asymmetry, enhance shape, or restore the breast after previous surgeries or changes.
What are risks and complications of the surgery?
Breast reconstruction surgery risks include infection, bleeding, poor wound healing, scarring, and changes in breast sensation. Implant-related risks involve rupture, capsular contracture, and possible future surgeries. Using autologous tissue can also lead to complications at the donor site, such as weakness or hernia.
What is the recovery period for a breast reconstruction surgery?
Recovery from breast reconstruction surgery typically takes 6 to 8 weeks. Most patients can resume light activities in a few weeks, but full recovery may take up to two months, depending on the type of reconstruction and individual healing.
What should I do to prepare for the surgery?
To prepare for breast reconstruction surgery, follow your surgeon’s instructions, which may include stopping certain medications, avoiding smoking, and arranging for help during recovery. Ensure you have a comfortable space at home for post-surgery rest, and discuss any concerns or questions with your surgeon beforehand.

Breast reconstruction surgery at Louron Medical is designed to restore the shape and appearance of the breast following mastectomy or other changes. This procedure can involve using implants or autologous tissue (tissue from another part of your body). Implants are silicone or saline-filled devices placed under the chest muscle or skin to create a natural-looking breast. Autologous tissue reconstruction uses your own tissue, typically taken from the abdomen, back, or thighs, to reconstruct the breast, providing a more natural look and feel.
Our highly skilled surgeons at Louron Medical are experts in both techniques, ensuring that each procedure is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. We employ cutting-edge technology, including 3D imaging and robotic-assisted systems, to achieve precise and effective results.
