Types of Breast Reconstruction in Lima
Implant-based reconstruction
This involves stretching the skin and inserting an implant. It usually requires shorter hospital stays and has predictable results. Many women also call this option implant breast reconstruction.
Flap-based reconstruction

Symmetry procedures
Some women reduce the opposite breast, while others enhance the reconstructed breast. This ensures balance and comfort. These procedures are part of breast symmetry surgery often performed alongside reconstruction.

Recovery times depend on the type of procedure:
⏱️ Surgery lasts between 3 and 4 hours.
