How to Prepare for Breast Reconstruction after a Double Mastectomy

The majority of women with breast cancer will undergo some sort of surgery as part of their treatment program. This is usually predominantly to remove the cancer from the breast, but in some cases, surgery is necessary as part of the diagnostic procedure or to determine if the cancer has spread beyond the breast area. Some women will also choose to have their breast tissue removed to prevent the cancer from returning in the future, and a very small number choose to have surgery to remove the breasts to avoid breast cancer altogether (usually due to a strong family history of breast cancer, or gene testing to show that they are exceptionally high risk). The removal of a single breast is known as a mastectomy, and if both breasts are removed, it is called a double mastectomy. Many women who undergo a mastectomy later decide to have their feminine curves restored using breast reconstruction surgery.
