Breast cancer belongs to the most frequent cancer illnesses among women; a surgical therapy of this illness often encloses a complete or partial removal of the breast. Hence, the treatment can be very incriminating physically and psychically. Hencebreast reconstruction is an important step on the way back to a normal female body shape and to a normal life. Certificated breast centres are available nationwide and internationally for the best possible medical care for patients suffering from breast cancer; reconstruction of a natural breast form is looked today as a natural part of breast cancer treatment. The numerous methods which can be tuned individually to the situation of the woman are available for the reconstruction of the female breast.
