Breast reconstruction is a procedure performed on a woman to restore the breasts after a lumpectomy or a mastectomy.

It is achieved through several plastic surgery techniques to return the breasts to near normal shape, size and appearance and can be performed on one or both of a woman's breasts.

If you are in need of breast reconstructive surgery, listen to Dr. Peter Hyans, board-certified plastic surgeon and director of Summit Medical Group's Plastic Surgery Center, discuss who is a good candidate for this surgery and what patients can expect from this procedure.
