Explanation

Right breast reconstruction is a medical procedure that aims to rebuild the shape, symmetry and size of the right breast after it has been removed or altered due to conditions like cancer. This is often done using artificial implants or tissue from another part of the patient's body. The goal is to restore the appearance of the breast to as close to its original state as possible. This procedure can greatly help in improving the patient's body image and self-esteem after a mastectomy or lumpectomy.
