Breast Reconstruction at Hygeia Plastic Surgery in Tirana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Mastectomy is often necessary to treat breast cancer, but the loss of a breast can have a lasting impact on body image and emotional wellbeing. Breast reconstruction restores breast shape and symmetry and helps many patients feel whole again after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Hygeia Plastic Surgery in Tirana, Albania, we perform breast reconstruction using implant-based techniques or the patient\u2019s own tissue. Each case is planned individually, taking into account cancer treatment, anatomy, tissue quality, and long-term outcomes. Reconstruction is not medically required, but for many patients it plays a critical role in recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconstruction may be performed at the time of mastectomy or delayed until cancer treatment is complete. Immediate reconstruction avoids a flat chest after surgery, while delayed reconstruction allows time for healing and informed decision-making. Both approaches are safe when properly selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We treat patients from across Europe in a fully equipped hospital that meets European safety standards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is Breast Reconstruction?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Breast reconstruction recreates breast shape after mastectomy, lumpectomy, or breast injury. The goal is to restore a natural breast contour, projection, and symmetry with the opposite breast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconstruction does not restore breast function or normal sensation. Reconstructed breasts do not produce milk, and sensation is usually reduced or absent. Despite this, reconstruction has well-documented benefits for body image, confidence, and overall quality of life after mastectomy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reconstruction can be performed using implants, the patient\u2019s own tissue, or a combination of both. Implant-based reconstruction uses expanders and implants to form the breast mound. Autologous reconstruction uses tissue from areas such as the abdomen, back, or thighs to create a more natural breast. The appropriate approach depends on anatomy, cancer treatment, available tissue, and patient preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most reconstructions are completed in stages. The initial surgery creates the breast mound, followed by procedures to refine shape, restore symmetry, and reconstruct the nipple-areola complex if desired. The full reconstruction process typically takes 6\u201312 months, depending on technique and the need for radiation therapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Types of Breast Reconstruction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

Implant-Based Reconstruction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Implant-based reconstruction is usually performed in two stages. A tissue expander is placed beneath the chest muscle during or after mastectomy and gradually filled over several months to stretch the skin and muscle. The expander is then replaced with a permanent silicone or saline implant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Autologous Tissue Flap Reconstruction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flap reconstruction uses the patient\u2019s own tissue\u2014skin, fat, and sometimes muscle\u2014from another body area to reconstruct the breast. Options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
