The purpose of breast reconstruction is to restore the shape, symmetry, and appearance of the breast following mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery, with the primary goals of improving quality of life, psychosocial well-being, and body image. Breast reconstruction addresses the physical disfigurement and sense of loss that often follow mastectomy, and is associated with improved psychological, physical, and sexual well-being.[1]
