Understanding Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to restore the breast to its original appearance after it has been lost due to cancer or an incident.
Rather than simply recreating the lost breast, it is a highly complex procedure that aims to achieve an ideal breast shape while taking into account the patient’s individual body characteristics. Therefore, it is important to carefully review the hospital’s expertise and surgical history before choosing a clinic for breast reconstruction.
Types of Breast Reconstruction Surgery
Breast Reconstruction Methods by Timing
Breast reconstruction can be classified into “immediate reconstruction” and “delayed reconstruction” depending on when the procedure is performed.
Immediate Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is performed at the same time as breast cancer surgery. Since the breast is reconstructed immediately following cancer removal, this approach offers the advantage of reducing the time without a breast and minimizing the emotional stress associated with breast loss.
Delayed Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction is performed after completing the entire treatment process, including breast cancer surgery and radiation therapy. This approach allows patients to undergo reconstruction after their cancer treatment has been completed, without the concern of cancer recurrence affecting the timing of reconstruction.
Breast Reconstruction at BongBong
BongBong Promises More Than Safe Restoration—Achieving an Ideal Shape and Natural Feel.
Breast cancer, the second most common cancer among women in Korea, has achieved significant medical advances, with the survival rate reaching approximately 90% over the past five years. As the demand for breast reconstruction to restore breasts affected by breast cancer surgery continues to increase, not every hospital is equipped to perform this specialized procedure due to its complexity.
BongBong Plastic Surgery’s experience with approximately 3,000 breast surgeries annually has enabled us to accumulate extensive data and refine our surgical systems for specialized, highly complex procedures such as breast reconstruction.

BongBong Plastic Surgery collaborated with the Pink Ribbon, an international campaign for breast cancer awareness, on a project to reconstruct the breast of Wang Yan, a Chinese patient. The surgery was successfully completed.
