Reviewing a proposed procedure with your chosen doctor
Breast Reconstruction Surgery
second opinion in Mumbai.
Medical term: Implant-based or autologous breast reconstruction
Already chosen your reconstructive plastic surgeon in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed breast reconstruction surgery? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.
You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.
Understand the procedure
What is breast reconstruction surgery?
Breast reconstruction rebuilds a breast shape after removal of breast tissue, commonly following cancer surgery. It may use an implant or the person's own tissue. The reconstructive plan is separate from the decision about cancer removal.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Your decision, your questions
Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- How does my cancer-treatment plan affect reconstruction timing?
- Which implant or tissue options suit my health and available tissue?
- What changes in sensation and symmetry should I expect?
- How many stages or later operations may be needed, and what are the donor-site risks?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the breast cancer pathology and planned or completed cancer surgery alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the reconstructive plastic surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Breast cancer pathology and planned or completed cancer surgery
- Radiotherapy and chemotherapy plans or summaries
- Previous breast or abdominal operations
- Reconstruction consultation notes, relevant health history and personal priorities
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
When you cannot attend yourself
How Redwood takes your case to your doctor
- Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.
- Prepare the case with us. We organise your existing records, treatment timeline and questions, then coordinate the appointment.
- We attend with your case. Your Care Steward takes the organised breast reconstruction surgery case file to the reconstructive plastic surgeon you selected and puts forward your recorded questions. After the consultation, we share the doctor's recommendations and consultation documents with you.
A video call during the consultation can be arranged if the doctor allows.
We respond within 12 hours of your enquiry.
