What to Know About Breast Reconstruction for Larger Breasts
Reconstructing larger breasts can come with some unique challenges. One of the main goals is to make sure the reconstructed breast matches the size and shape of the natural one.
For women with larger breasts, support is an important factor. Larger breasts can feel heavier, so the reconstruction needs to account for that to ensure long-term comfort and balance. In some cases, the natural breast may need a lift or reduction to create better symmetry.
What Are Your Reconstruction Options?
There are a few different approaches to breast reconstruction, and the right choice depends on your body, preferences, and medical needs.Â
Implant-Based Reconstruction
Silicone or saline breast implants are common methods to rebuild the breast. While this can be a straightforward option, women with larger breasts might prefer other methods to match the natural feel and movement of their body.
Tissue-Based Reconstruction
Another option involves using tissue from your own body to recreate the breast. This is often done by transferring skin, fat, and sometimes muscle from areas like the abdomen (e.g., DIEP Flap) or back. For women with larger breasts, this method can give you a more natural look and feel. It also eliminates the need for implants.
Adjusting the Natural Breast
To create balance, some women with larger breasts may also have a lift or reduction on the natural breast. This helps both sides look proportional after reconstruction.
