Breast reconstruction Crete

Sunday, 05 October 2025

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Its surgery has become less and less mutilating in recent decades, however, the total number of breast reconstruction surgeries has increased significantly recently. Nowadays, breast reconstruction should be individualized, taking into account not only the oncological aspects of the tumor, the genetic predisposition, but also its timing, as well as the patient's condition and desire. There is a multitude of breast reconstruction surgeries, including silicone implants, expanders, autologous tissues with fat or flaps. However, all of the above surgeries should be performed by a specialized Plastic Surgeon, because it is wrong for the breast reconstruction to be performed by the Breast Surgeon who also removes the tumor (Daniel Schmauss D et al. Breast Reconstruction after Mastectomy. Front Surg 2016 Jan 19:2:71).
