Autologous Breast Reconstruction Using your Own Tissue
There are a number of methods that utilize your body's own tissue to reconstruct breasts after a mastectomy. Skin & fat +/- muscle are transferred as a composite flap to recreate the breast mound and shape. Often times nipple reconstruction can be performed during the same settings. This truly recreates your breast in a single stage surgical procedure.
A perforator flap is an even more elegant type of reconstruction in which no muscle is taken, but only separated to help transfer your body's tissue to the chest. Perforator flaps gain their blood supply by hooking up blood vessels under the microscope. To learn more, please schedule a consultation or click below.
