Providing Breast Reconstruction Surgery in Sydney
Breast reconstruction is an operation to replace the breast after mastectomy (removal of a breast), or lumpectomy (removal of part of the breast). Breast reconstruction surgery is a very important part of recovery for women who have had breast cancer.
Breast reconstruction offers many important psychological benefits to women recovering from cancer. As well as aesthetic benefits, breast reconstruction allows women to return to an emotional state they enjoyed before their cancer diagnosis.

The breast can be reconstructed with your own tummy tissue or with breast implants. If the tummy tissue is used, the woman has a "tummy tuck" at the same time as the breast reconstruction. Nipples can also be reconstructed afterwards. Sometimes, the size of the other breast may need to be adjusted to give the best symmetrical result. It is possible to have reconstruction at the same time as the cancer operation, or many years later.
If you have been considering breast reconstruction surgery, schedule a consultation with Dr Tew. We can then discuss possible outcomes with you.
