“…11,12 In an attempt to have their post mastectomy breast appear more normal, or better yet, as they previously existed, many women elect for reconstructive breast or nipple surgery. 13 Duggal found that motivation for choosing postmastectomy breast reconstruction was mainly concern over body image and not based on any demographic characteristics. 14 Their study revealed that this was more significant than sexuality or femininity.…”

Aims The aim of this paper is to determine what women who undergo reconstructive surgery after mastectomy (due to breast cancer) are seeking. It also answers the question, how plastic surgeons are attempting to fill this need. Methods A survey was undertaken of 84 plastic surgeons and 70 of their patients who underwent recent mastectomy and reconstruction surgery. All the material was deidentified before analysis. Results The majority of the women wanted their breasts and nipples to be natural and have the same appearance (or sometimes to be more attractive) or similar appearance. Conclusion Women undergoing this type of surgery frequently develop a decreased quality-of-life (QoL) which also affects their feeling of femininity, sexuality, and psychological well-being. The post-surgery time period and the additional necessary treatments are extremely stressful events. The importance of their breast post-operative aesthetics correlated with their self-esteem and body image. It is important for plastic surgeons to take these factors into consideration, when planning their reconstructive surgery

The earliest records of breast cancer (BC) date back to 3,000 - 2,500 B.C., ever since multiple curative options have been explored. First known wide margin excision was performed around 1st Century AD and a prototype of the modern-day BC surgery, Halsted radical mastectomy, was performed in the 20th Century. BC is the most common cancer in Pakistan accounting for up to 14.5% of the total cancer incidences. Accredited breast surgery fellowships were established in the UK and USA in 2002 and 2003, respectively. In Pakistan, the movement was delayed and the two-year College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP) accredited breast surgery fellowship program started in 2019. The increasing annual incidence and changes in demands have led to an increased percentage of General Surgery graduates taking up specialty training. PubMed search from 1990 to 2021 showed a rising trend in the number of breast cancer publications from Pakistan; from almost no papers before 1990 to 615 between 2012 to 2021. This remarkable surge in BC-related research can be explained by the commencement of fellowship programs in breast surgery and related fields. An increase in specialist training will yield better results in the management of patients, improve clinical trials and help produce more meaningful publications from the country. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.38.8.6045 How to cite this:Ali D, Zeeshan S, Farooqi N, Vohra L.
