Breast Cancer - Reconstruction Surgery: Breast Cancer reconstruction surgery is not for every women. Some women choose to wear prosthetic devices instead. Becoming a candidate for Breast Cancer reconstruction surgery starts by consulting your surgeon who will help you decide if this is right for you. It will depend in part on the type of cancer surgery performed, your diagnosis, age, health, expectations, body and tissue type. More than one surgery will likely be required in order to make sure the breast implant and reconstructive surgery create a breast that is natural looking and as close a match to the existing breast as possible. The desired outcome is to create a pair of breasts that look natural and match.
