Restorative & Supportive Procedures
Healing after breast cancer is about more than appearance. Restorative procedures focus on regaining comfort, function, and balance—whether through restoring sensation, easing lymphedema, or creating better symmetry.
Overview
Healing after breast cancer surgery isn’t only about rebuilding appearance—it’s also about restoring comfort, balance, and function. Some women face challenges like loss of sensation, swelling from lymphedema, or unevenness between breasts after their initial reconstruction. Others may simply want a little extra support to feel whole again.
Restorative and supportive procedures are designed to address these needs. They focus on bringing your body back into balance, improving quality of life, and supporting your long-term healing.
At Coastal Hope for Healing, we believe that care doesn’t end after your first surgery. These procedures are part of a broader healing journey that honors both your body and your spirit.
What You’ll Learn Here
This section covers several supportive options you may want to explore, including:
Lymphedema Surgery – procedures that help reduce swelling and improve lymphatic flow after lymph node removal or radiation.
Sensory Nerve Reconstruction – microsurgical techniques that reconnect nerves to help restore feeling in the breast.
Fat Grafting – transferring your own fat to refine shape, soften contour, or add volume.
Symmetry Procedures – surgeries on the opposite breast (lift, reduction, or augmentation) to improve balance and comfort.
Why These Procedures Matter
To restore sensation and reduce numbness.
To ease swelling and heaviness caused by lymphedema.
To create softer, smoother, and more natural results after reconstruction.
To bring balance between both breasts for improved confidence and comfort.
