Breast surgery, whether reconstructive or aesthetic, is far more than a technical procedure: it touches upon intimacy, identity, and self-confidence. For women facing the consequences of a failed operation, whether after cancer reconstruction or cosmetic surgery, the road to healing is often fraught with obstacles. At the Clinique de Montchoisi, Prof. Phillip Blondeel, specialist in plastic, reconstructive, and aesthetic surgery, has launched the “Sein Brisé” initiative, an ambitious project dedicated to these patients seeking both physical and emotional repair. In this interview, he reveals the scope of this approach, the unique needs of these women, and the importance of comprehensive care in offering them a true second chance.
