| Background: Chemotherapy plays a significant part in the management of breast cancer. In the current study, mastectomy with prompt breast reconstruction, the effects of neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy were investigated. Objective: The effect of neoadjuvant and adjuvant were given systemically to breast cancer patients to investigate their effect on breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Methods: Two-year postoperative follow-up at Zagazig University Surgical Department for 82 patients who received assistance systemic neoadjuvant (NAC) and (ACT) adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer between January 2021 and December 2022, together with mastectomy and rapid reconstructive surgery of the breast. Results: During the trial, 82 patients received fast breast remodeling after mastectomy. 34 patients did not receive any systemic therapy, whereas 28 patients had preoperative chemotherapy and 20 patients received postoperative chemotherapy.
