Even the tiniest miscalculation of a millimeter here or there can make the difference between having an operated look with a pinched tip or sloping bridge, and the natural shape and good projection most people desire.

Despite the wave of celebrity moms who seem to bounce back to their size zero pre pregnancy shape with the aid of a team of trainers, personal chefs and nutritionists, most women in the real world are pretty distressed about the changes they experience after childbirth and breast feeding. No matter how hard you work at toning your body and staying fit, some changes post pregnancy are inevitable. Large breasts tend to sag, the areolas may enlarge, and the upper area often flattens out resulting in a loss of cleavage. Small breasts often seem to lose whatever volume was there before the baby. Hips can widen, the abdomen expands causing the muscles to separate, and the skin to tear which creates dreaded stretch marks. Even your feet swelling can increase your shoe size. All of these changes can affect a woman’s self confidence in a big way.

The myriad decisions women face after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis are intensely personal. Finding out about breast reconstruction should begin when you are first diagnosed, so you do not make decisions that may limit your future options. In 2009, 86,424 breast reconstruction procedures were performed according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, but surprisingly, many women are not properly informed about all of their reconstructive options at the time of diagnosis. “This is an important conversation that should take place when a woman is diagnosed so she is informed about choices that can improve her quality of life,” says Susan Downey, M.D., F.A.C.S., a Los Angeles plastic surgeon. “Choosing the most advanced procedures available in breast reconstruction can help women restore their bodies and return to their lives much more quickly.”
