Until a few years ago oncologists advised mastectomized patients to wait for at least 5 years (disease-free interval) to consider a breast reconstruction. Now, due to the improvements in diagnostic measures, breast reconstruction is performed earlier, even being able, in some cases, to be performed simultaneously with the mastectomy. In this variant of immediate reconstruction, the patient avoids the suffering of seeing the body mutilated with mastectomy, which results in better psychological recovery after breast cancer.
