Breast reconstruction surgery is performed to restore a breast that has been removed due to cancer or other diseases. A new breast is formed using tissue from the abdomen and/or back muscles or by using a tissue expander and inserting an implant. The reconstruction creates a breast that can be close in form and appearance to match the natural one. Surgery can also be performed on the other breast to improve the symmetry such as a reduction, a breast lift or insertion of an implant.
