The surgery itself is longer, causing more time under anesthesia. Post-operative pain and recovery time will be greater than for mastectomy alone

What are the two main methods of performing breast reconstruction after mastectomy?

Oh, dude, it's like choosing between chocolate and vanilla ice cream. You've got the implant option, where they pop in a silicone or saline implant to give you that perky look, or the flap reconstruction, where they take tissue from another part of your body and move it up top. Both get the job done, just depends on whether you're more of a silicone or a tissue kind of person.
