Breast Reconstruction

Autologous reconstruction uses the patient’s own tissue, typically from the abdomen, back, or thighs, to reconstruct the breast. This method offers a more natural look and feel.

Ideal Candidates

  • Patients desiring a natural breast appearance.
  • Individuals with sufficient donor tissue.
  • Those who have had previous radiation therapy

Procedure Details:

  • Common techniques include DIEP, TRAM, and Latissimus Dorsi flaps.
  • Involves microsurgery to transfer tissue and blood vessels.
  • Longer surgery time compared to implant-based reconstruction.

Medical Considerations:

Benefits:

  • More natural look and feel.
  • No risk of implant-related complications.
  • Tissues age naturally with the body.

Recovery:

  • Hospital stay of 4-7 days.
  • Full recovery may take 6-8 weeks.
  • Donor site care is essential to ensure proper healing.
