Breast cancer survivors who have undergone a mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery report that intimacy greatly improves after their reconstruction. This is attributed to women feeling more confident with their appearance and helping them regain a sense of their femininity. How long after my mastectomy can I undergo Breast Cancer Reconstruction? Dr. Vennemeyer and your breast surgeon will work together to develop treatment options to fit your long term goals. Then, based on your cancer treatment plan, Dr. Vennemeyer will discuss all of your reconstruction options and answer your questions. After you have all the information to make an informed decision, your ultimate reconstruction plan will be up to you. In some cases, immediate breast cancer reconstruction is a good option.
