class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">The term <strong>prophylactic mastectomy<\/strong> (preventive mastectomy) refers to a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drpapaioannou.gr\/en\/breast-surgery-en\/\">breast plastic surgery procedure<\/a><\/strong> that involves removing the breast gland preventively, before the development of breast cancer. This is usually accompanied by immediate reconstruction by the <strong><a href=\"\/en\/\">plastic surgeon<\/a><\/strong> to ensure a result that is harmonious with the rest of the body and looks completely natural. This approach has become very popular in recent years, mainly because genetic screening now makes it possible to identify women belonging to high-risk groups.<\/p><p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color\">This technique became even more widely known to the general public following the announcement of Angelina Jolie\u2019s case.
