Benefits of Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Some benefits of having breast reconstruction surgery include:
– Improve the body image and how women feel about their breasts and body after cancer treatment
– Reduce depressive symptoms
– Restore the body appearance, which may benefit sexuality, emotional well-being, and fashion options
– Restore the body’s symmetry and balance as a lumpectomy or mastectomy may remove a breast and change the spinal alignment
– Improve emotional and social well-being
– Reduce the look of possible scars after a mastectomy or lumpectomy [2]
