Post-Cancer Breast Reconstruction in Bangalore

Post-cancer breast reconstruction is a reconstructive procedure performed to restore breast shape after mastectomy or lumpectomy. Breast cancer treatment can save lives, but it may also leave changes in breast size, contour, symmetry, and body image. At Dr. Dharmesh JB’s Reconstructive & Microsurgery Clinic, we provide advanced and personalized post-cancer breast reconstruction in Bangalore to help women regain a natural breast form, improve symmetry, and restore confidence.

Reconstruction can be done immediately (at the same time as cancer surgery) or delayed (after completion of chemotherapy or radiotherapy), depending on cancer stage, treatment plan, and overall health. Options include implants, fat grafting, or flap reconstruction using the patient’s own tissue. The approach is selected based on your anatomy, skin quality, prior surgeries, and the need for radiation.

Who Can Benefit from Breast Reconstruction?

After mastectomy: Complete removal of breast tissue due to cancer or high-risk prevention.
After lumpectomy: Breast-conserving surgery leading to contour deformity or asymmetry.
Post-radiation changes: Tightness, distortion, or volume loss after radiotherapy.
Revision of old reconstruction: Issues such as capsular contracture, implant problems, or uneven shape.
Desire for symmetry: Balancing procedures on the opposite breast when required.

Breast Reconstruction Options

The reconstruction method is chosen after detailed clinical evaluation and discussion of goals and expectations. Options include:

Implant-Based Reconstruction: Use of silicone implants, often with a tissue expander, to recreate breast volume and shape.
Fat Grafting (Lipofilling): Transfer of the patient’s own fat to improve contour, correct minor deformities, and enhance symmetry—often used as an adjunct procedure.
Flap Reconstruction (Own Tissue): Microsurgical transfer of tissue (skin, fat, and sometimes muscle) from areas such as the abdomen or back to create a natural-feeling breast.
Oncoplastic Reconstruction: Reshaping the breast after lumpectomy to minimize deformity and improve cosmetic outcomes.
Nipple-Areola Reconstruction: Performed in selected cases after breast shape has stabilized, to enhance natural appearance.

Immediate vs Delayed Reconstruction

Immediate reconstruction is done during cancer surgery and can reduce the number of surgeries while preserving skin envelope and breast shape. Delayed reconstruction is performed later, often recommended when radiotherapy is planned or when healing time is required after cancer treatment. The best timing is decided in coordination with your cancer team.

When Should You Consult a Specialist?

You should consult a reconstructive surgeon for post-cancer breast reconstruction in Bangalore if you are planning mastectomy/lumpectomy, experiencing asymmetry after cancer surgery, or facing implant/flap-related concerns from a previous reconstruction. Early consultation allows better planning and smoother coordination with oncology treatment.

Our Treatment Approach

Every patient undergoes detailed evaluation including medical history, examination, and review of oncology treatment plan. Reconstruction is planned with focus on symmetry, breast contour, scar placement, natural proportions, and long-term durability. We coordinate with oncologists and breast surgeons to ensure that reconstruction supports safe cancer treatment and optimal recovery.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery depends on the reconstruction technique used. Implant-based reconstruction typically has a shorter initial recovery, while flap reconstruction may require longer healing due to donor-site care. Regular follow-ups are essential for wound monitoring, scar management, and optimizing long-term symmetry and comfort.
