Breast Reconstruction After Lumpectomy and Radiation?

Thank you for your question. The short answer to the question of whether or not you can have breast reconstruction after a lumpectomy and radiation is yes!
Many lumpectomy patients believe breast reconstruction is only possible after mastectomy, but this could not be further from the truth. There are a couple of options for reconstruction post-lumpectomy:
If you're happy with the volume of your breast that has undergone the lumpectomy, it's possible to have the breast re-shaped so that the deficit is "filled in." You may desire a balancing procedure to the other breast, such as a reduction and/or lift, to address asymmetry between the two.If you're not happy with the lumpectomy breast's volume, then fat grafting can be done to restore the volume lost. Fat grafting involves liposuction from one part of the body (typically from the flanks, abdomen, and/or inner thighs), the purifying of that fat, and the injection of that fat into the area of deficit.
Best of luck to you!

Yes- there are different options for lumpectomy reconstruction either with using your own tissue nearby or symmetry procedures depending on each patient's history
