title: Breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
abstract: Reconstruction of the breast contour and areolanipple complex can be undertaken in patients who have had mastectomy for carcinoma of the breast. Although the reconstructed breast is not normal, the restored contour and simulation is gratifying for those patients who have sought this procedure.
