PATIENT ASSESSMENT
Who may consider Breast Reconstruction?
Suitability is determined during an individual clinical consultation. Common considerations include:
- Women undergoing mastectomy or lumpectomy: Patients planning immediate reconstruction at the time of cancer surgery, or delayed reconstruction months or years later.
- Cancer survivors seeking symmetry: Patients looking to reconstruct the affected breast and adjust the contralateral breast for balanced appearance in clothing.
- Patients with previous reconstruction complications: Individuals seeking revision of older implants or improvement of irradiated tissue contour.
A private consultation is necessary to confirm whether this treatment aligns with your anatomy and health status.

Frequently asked about Breast Reconstruction.
Clear, straightforward medical answers to common patient questions.
What is the difference between immediate and delayed reconstruction?
Immediate reconstruction happens during the same operation as your mastectomy. Delayed reconstruction is performed after chemotherapy or radiation therapy is complete and tissues have healed.
Does breast reconstruction increase the risk of cancer recurrence?
Extensive scientific studies have confirmed that breast reconstruction does not increase the risk of cancer returning or interfere with recurrence monitoring.
Is breast reconstruction covered by medical aids in South Africa?
Yes. Under the Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMBs) in South Africa, medical schemes are legally required to cover breast reconstruction following mastectomy for cancer.
Ethical Medical Notice: Individual results and suitability vary. Surgical procedures carry inherent risks and require a thorough in-person consultation with a registered specialist plastic surgeon to discuss clinical indications, realistic expectations, potential complications, and specific recovery instructions.
