About this listen
The decision to undergo breast reconstruction following a mastectomy involves multiple factors, including the tumour size, breast size and overall health of the woman. According to plastic surgeon Dr Kirstin Miteff individualised medical consultations are important for women to fully understand the risks and benefits of surgery and choose the right procedure. Breast reconstruction not only restores physical appearance but also has profound psychosocial, sexual, and functional effects, improving a woman's self-esteem and overall well-being.
This episode of The Surgeon & I provides valuable insights into breast reconstruction options, their significance in cancer treatment, and the need for improved accessibility and awareness.
