This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello,

I suffered from breast cancer three years back, due to which my breast was removed, and now I am planning to reconstruct the breast. Can you give me some tips for reconstructing the breast? Also, how much time and care are needed after the surgery? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. Breast reconstruction requires skin and fat taken as a flap from your abdomen. That is the best option. This procedure will take approximately 10 days to settle and 21 days for starting your routine activity.

Thank you.
