Abstract Breast is an important sign of femininity; hence it is a great disaster for females to amputate it in cancer treatment reflecting these effects such as deviations deeply disturb both the patient’s perception of her body as well as her emotional balance, together with reducing patient’s self-esteem and well being. Once a diagnosis of early breast cancer has been established, surgical treatment needs to proceed, with either breast conservation or mastectomy. Reconstruction after ablative surgery for cancer breast should be offered to all patients whenever possible, the very few contraindications of such reconstruction were the presence of residual malignancy, presence of chronic debilitating disease, psychologically unfit patients and patient’s refusal. The use of autologous versus alloplastic methods depends on the experience of the centre and other factors related to the patient; both are rather equally safe in well trained hands and in properly chosen patients. |
