Breast Reconstruction Explained (English) Book
reast Reconstruction: Healing Beyond Cancer
By Dr. Foumani, MD PhD – Reconstructive Surgeon and Medical Researcher
Straightforward, science-based insights on breast reconstruction after cancer—without overwhelming medical jargon.
Facing breast cancer comes with difficult decisions—one of the most personal being whether to pursue breast reconstruction. Breast Reconstruction: Healing Beyond Cancer gives clear, compassionate, and practical information to help you make confident, well-informed choices about your body and recovery.
Written by Dr. Foumani, a board-certified reconstructive surgeon with a PhD in medical science, this book presents everything you need to know about reconstruction, including:
  • The full range of surgical options: implants, living tissue (flap) techniques, oncoplastic approaches, and tissue-conserving procedures like the Goldilocks method
  • The pros and cons of immediate (primary) versus delayed (secondary) reconstruction
  • The impact of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation on reconstructive outcomes
  • What recovery looks like in real terms—timelines, discomfort, practical planning
  • Real patient examples that illustrate different paths and decisions
  • How to work with your medical team and what questions to ask
  • Why some women choose not to reconstruct—and how that can be just as valid and empowering
This book doesn’t promote one ideal outcome. Instead, it presents all relevant possibilities clearly so that each woman can decide what fits her priorities, values, and circumstances.
Dr. Foumani, MD PhD, combines years of clinical expertise with a personal motivation: when his own mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, he realized how difficult it was—even for a doctor—to explain all the reconstructive options in simple terms. This inspired him to create a book that speaks directly to patients, without pressure or complexity.
✔ Clear, accessible language
✔ Based on up-to-date medical research and surgical practice
✔ Includes glossary, checklists, and questions to ask during consultations
✔ For anyone considering reconstruction after cancer—whether immediately or years later
No one can make this decision for you. But with honest, medically accurate information, you can move forward with clarity and confidence—on your terms.
