You're in good hands with us

Many of the women who undergo breast reconstruction with us have had one or both breasts removed due to breast cancer treatment or as preventive surgery for genetic risk of breast cancer. Reconstruction can be performed either at the same time as the breast removal or in a separate operation.

We take our time

With a thorough preliminary examination and consultation, we make sure you feel comfortable and confident about the procedure. Our doctors always make every effort to discuss your expectations for the result with you. Among other things, we need to make sure that you understand that complete symmetry with any other breast is very difficult to achieve, although our surgeons do their best to create harmonious and symmetrical results. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns you would like to clarify.

Patient information

Information about breast reconstruction and breast correction

Breast reconstruction

Breast reconstruction often requires a number of surgeries and therefore takes a long time overall.

The first part of the surgery involves expanding the tissue to make room for an implant. This is done by placing a tissue expander under the pectoralis major muscle. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia with hospitalization until the next day. The expander is filled with saline once a week as an outpatient. The expander needs to be refilled 4-6 times in total. In some cases, symmetry-improving surgery will be performed on the opposite breast, for example by performing a breast augmentation, lift or reduction of the other breast. After 3-6 months, the expander will be replaced with a permanent breast implant. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and you are often hospitalized for ½-1 day.

This is followed by nipple reconstruction, which is done on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia 3 months after the above surgery, and finally, a tattoo of the nipple area will be done, also on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.

With a thorough preliminary examination, we can assess your options for surgery and discuss the expected results.

Nipple reconstruction and nipple tattooing

At Capio we offer nipple reconstruction, and it is also possible to get a tattoo of the nipple area. Both are performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia.

Breast implant removal

Breast implants can be removed if you have problems with the implants, or if you simply want to have them removed or replaced. We always perform a thorough preliminary examination to give you the best possible basis for making a decision about surgery.
