There are several types of breast reconstruction procedures available for those needing the shape of their breast rebuilt as a result of trauma, disease, abnormal development of the breasts, but most need them as a result of having a mastectomy. During this surgical procedure, the physician uses tissues from the buttocks, back, or belly or the surgeon uses an implant or tissue expanders to form breast mounds. The implants are silicone sacs that are filled with either silicone gel or salt water. Through an experienced plastic surgeon, the woman is able to have the natural appearance of the breast restored.
