Did you know? Breast reconstruction is a personal decision — not a medical urgency.
Breast reconstruction is a deeply personal choice, and there is no “right” timeline that fits everyone.
Some patients choose immediate reconstruction, while others take time — months or even years — before making their decision. What matters most is choosing the timing that feels right for you, both physically and emotionally.
Follow us to find clear, reliable information, and feel free to send us your questions via DM for a chance to have Dr. Ashraf answer directly in a short clip.

التعاون مهم — خاصة عندما تكون الرحلة شخصية.
بعض المريضات يأتين إلينا مباشرة،
وأخريات يتم تحويلهن عندما تتطلب حالتهن نهجًا أكثر تخصصًا واهتمامًا.
ونحن أيضًا نقوم بالتحويل عند الحاجة — لأن الرعاية لا يجب أن تقتصر على رأي واحد.
الأمر لا يتعلق بطبيب واحد،
بل يتعلق بالدعم، والثقة، واتخاذ القرار الصحيح لكل مريضة — في كل مرحلة من رحلتها.
إلى الزملاء الذين يضعون ثقتهم بنا في مثل هذه اللحظات المهمة — شكرًا لكم.
هذا يعني لنا الكثير.

Collaboration matters — even more when the journey is personal.
Some patients come to us directly.
Others are referred when their case requires a more specialized, thoughtful approach.
And when needed, we refer too — because care should never be limited by one perspective.
This is not about one doctor.
It’s about support, trust, and doing what’s right for every patient — at every stage of her journey.
To the colleagues who place their trust in us during such important moments — thank you.
It truly means a lot.

🩺For patient information only.
This educational content is intended to raise awareness and support understanding of breast reconstruction options in Egypt and does not replace a personal consultation with a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon.
One of the many types of Reconstruction options may include implant-only reconstruction, a staged approach using a tissue expander, or a combination of your own tissue with an implant. The most suitable plan is always individualized based on your anatomy, medical history, and treatment journey.
لأغراض التوعية الطبية فقط.
هذا المحتوى التعليمي يهدف إلى زيادة الوعي بخيارات إعادة بناء الثدي ولا يغني عن الاستشارة الطبية المباشرة مع جرّاح تجميل وترميم معتمد.
يمكن أن تشمل خيارات إعادة البناء استخدام الحشوة (implant) فقط، أو باستخدام موسّع أنسجة (tissue expander) على مراحل، أو دمج أنسجة المريضة مع الحشوة. يتم اختيار الخطة الأنسب بشكل فردي حسب الحالة والتاريخ الطبي.

Question: "If I have diabetes, can I have breast reconstruction surgery?"
Dr. Ashraf: "If you have diabetes, breast reconstruction surgery is possible—but only if your blood sugar is very well controlled. We need tight control before, during, and after the operation. If the diabetes is not well managed, we do not recommend proceeding with reconstruction."

⚠️الإجابة دي عامة ومبدئية فقط، لأن تقييم الحالة بيحتاج كشف طبي شامل ودراسة التاريخ المرضي بالكامل. القرار بيعتمد على نوع السكر، مدى انتظامه، والحالة الصحية العامة، بالإضافة لنوع الإجراء المطلوب لإعادة البناء. التقييم النهائي وتحديد مدى إمكانية العملية بيتم بعد الفحص الكامل مع الدكتور.

English transcript:
“The ideal breast reconstruction, from a plastic surgery perspective, is what we call aesthetic reconstruction. It focuses on two main aspects:
First, the appearance—it should look natural, be aesthetically pleasing, and be well-matched to the other breast and to the overall body.
Second, the function and durability—it should be something that lasts for the patient long-term without problems, allowing her to live her life normally.
In the upcoming videos, we will discuss more details about everything related to breast reconstruction procedures. And of course, if you have any questions, please send them to us and we will be happy to answer.”

English transcript:
The first study we conducted at Kasr El Ainy Hospital on breast reconstruction surgeries was a comparative study between two types of procedures. After that, we had to develop our own technique, tailored to our patients, to achieve the best results with the lowest rate of complications.
After we achieved the best results with the lowest rate of complications, this study was published in the number one worldwide publication for microsurgery - the Micro Surgery Journal. This research was conducted in collaboration with our colleagues at the University of Birmingham in England.

English transcript of Video:
Of course, my favorite place has always been Kasr Al Ainy Faculty of Medicine — it’s home for us. I completed my Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD there.
During my doctoral studies, I obtained membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
After that came the journey to Europe, with the goal of earning the European Board certification in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
At the same time, it was important to gain hands-on exposure and become familiar with different schools of thought in plastic and reconstructive surgery, including breast reconstruction procedures.
The journey began in Glasgow, then continued in Germany — specifically Munich and Stuttgart— and finally in Paris, France.
