From Mastectomies to Breast Reconstruction

For some women with breast cancer, a mastectomy is a lifesaving procedure. Yet, it can also have a big impact on the woman’s self-esteem and body image, which is where breast reconstruction surgery comes in. In conjunction with Pink October, learn more about what the whole process looks like from end-to-end from the perspective of both a surgeon and a patient. We speak to consultant breast surgeon Dr Teh Mei Sze from Subang Jaya Medical Centre and breast cancer survivor Madam Wong.
