Breast Reconstruction “One of the main goals of breast reconstruction is for a woman to feel whole when she has completed her cancer journey. It really helps them move past the cancer stage and focus on healing mentally and physically.” – Dr. Sarah Sher, Plastic Surgeon at Hope Women’s Cancer Center Benefits of Breast Reconstruction Requires only one visit to the operating room. By having our board-certified plastic surgeon and fellowship-trained breast surgeon on-site during the procedure, the recovery time can be significantly shorter. Breast reconstruction may help you feel more comfortable about how you look after a mastectomy. Although it may look and feel different from your natural breast, this procedure can be a huge satisfier for women that may be struggling with losing their breast.
