Reconstructive Surgery for Cancer Patients: Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women worldwide, including in Nigeria and across Africa. For many women diagnosed with breast cancer, mastectomy (surgical removal of one or both breasts) is a life-saving procedure. However, while mastectomy helps eliminate cancer, it can leave many women feeling physically incomplete, emotionally distressed, and struggling with self-confidence.
