University of Hail, Saudi Arabia
In this review article, various preferences in breast plastic surgery particularly after breast cancer will be discussed in view of the
diverse indications for the different construction procedures. The various conditions that necessitate the need for reconstruction
are appraised; the important reconstructive procedures are discussed. The most important indication procedures discussed in this
review include: Prophylactic subcutaneous mastectomy, lumpectomy and radiation, modified mastectomy with axillary sampling,
nipple reconstruction, and the contralateral breast. These procedures are discussed in view of plastic surgeon practice and patient’s
acceptability in Saudi Arabia. Data from Saudi Arabia in particular was identified through searches of the EMBASE, and MEDLINE
database, using the keywords: Saudi Arabia, breast plastic surgery, breast reconstruction, autologous breast reconstruction, breast
augmentation. Advances in prosthetic technologies and modifications in autologous flap techniques, and the development of novel
tissue alternatives have allowed for sustained developments in breast reconstruction results. A variety of attitudes has been accessible
for addressing the difficulties that endure after resection of breast cancer in Saudi Arabia. Patients should be educated to accept
different process in this context
