Surgery Follow Up

Probably not for “maintenance”, but most patients require at least 2 surgeries total (sometimes more) to complete their reconstruction. The second stage of the reconstruction is typically performed 3 months or more after the first stage, takes 2-4 hours, and isusually an outpatient procedure. Common things done during the second stage include reshaping the breast mounds, improving the shape of the donor site (tummy or buttocks), and often making new nipples.
