Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction surgery is a medical procedure that rebuilds a woman's breast(s) after a mastectomy (the surgical removal of one or both breasts).

This procedure aims to restore the shape, appearance and symmetry of the breast(s) and can help improve the psychological and emotional wellbeing of women who have undergone breast cancer treatment or experienced breast-related health issues.

Our Breast Reconstruction Nurses act as a point of contact for patients, relatives, carers and other healthcare professionals. They provide information and practical and emotional support to patients undergoing breast reconstruction.
