Radical mastectomy inflicts emotional as well as physical scars, and preoperative interviews with the reconstructive surgeon can help to ameliorate some anxiety. There is no evidence of risk to the patient from reconstruction of the breast. Reconstruction is best deferred for four to six months after mastectomy for several oncologic and psychologic reasons. Careful selection of patients is paramount. Reconstruction involves the correction of several functional and structural deficits. The end result has been enhanced by the silicone breast implant and the myocutaneous flap. Although the final result is usually not a cosmetic triumph, the reconstruction may serve to enhance the patient's self-image.
根治性乳房切除术会造成身体和心理上的创伤，术前与整形医生进行面谈有助于缓解一些焦虑情绪。没有证据表明乳房重建会给患者带来风险。出于肿瘤学和心理学方面的多种原因，乳房重建最好在乳房切除术后推迟四到六个月进行。仔细挑选患者至关重要。乳房重建涉及纠正多种功能和结构缺陷。硅胶乳房植入物和肌皮瓣改善了最终效果。虽然最终结果通常并非在美容方面取得巨大成功，但重建可能有助于提升患者的自我形象。
