This is often accomplished through the use of breast implants placed under the chest muscle or by transferring tissue from other parts of the body. With rising breast cancer incidence rates, the demand for breast reconstructive options has increased over the years.
The global breast reconstruction market is estimated to be valued at US$ 901.3 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
