Breast reconstruction may be considered after a
mastectomy, and the suitable approach depends on a person’s medical circumstances, treatment plan and preferences.
This infographic presents two broad approaches: implant-based reconstruction, which uses an implant to restore breast
shape, and autologous flap reconstruction, which uses tissue from another part of the body. It also illustrates the stages
involved in these approaches. Explore breast reconstruction information and available treatment options with Dr Melanie
Seah, breast specialist in Singapore.
