Breast Reconstruction

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure aimed at restoring the shape and appearance of the breast following a mastectomy or lumpectomy. At Emirates Hospitals, we offer advanced breast reconstruction options tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient. Our team of expert surgeons and compassionate healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing the highest quality care throughout your reconstruction journey.

Breast reconstruction can be performed at the time of a mastectomy (immediate reconstruction) or at a later stage (delayed reconstruction). The decision on the timing and type of reconstruction is made in close consultation with the patient, taking into consideration their medical condition, preferences, and overall treatment plan.

Types of Breast Reconstruction

1. Implant-Based Reconstruction: This is the most common type of breast reconstruction, where a saline or silicone implant is used to recreate the breast mound. The implant is placed either directly under the skin or beneath the chest muscle, depending on the patient’s anatomy and previous treatments.
2. Autologous Tissue Reconstruction: This method involves using tissue from another part of the patient’s body, such as the abdomen, back, or thigh, to reconstruct the breast. This type of reconstruction can provide a more natural look and feel compared to implants.
3. Combination Procedures: In some cases, a combination of implants and autologous tissue is used to achieve the desired result. This approach allows for greater flexibility and can be customized to the patient’s specific needs.
