Breast cancer surgery frequently results in the removal of the breast. Existing breast reconstruction techniques, on the other hand, may not be able to address the requirement for replacement tissue. The utilization of new materials in tissue engineering holds the potential of developing adequate substitutes. In recent years, there has been a substantial surge in interest and implementation of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in the medical sector. This is especially true in intricate medical settings, such as when anomalous or sophisticated anatomical surgical concerns or exact reconstructive techniques are being considered. Furthermore, 3D bioprinting, which mixes cells with biomaterial scaffolds, is an interesting technique with substantial tissue engineering applications. The goal of this article is to look at a few types of research that employed 3D printing technology in breast reconstructive surgery operations, as well as prospects and uses of 3D bioprinting
