Implant Reconstruction

Silicone or saline implants are used to reconstruct the breasts after a mastectomy by inserting them into the vacant space where the native breast tissue used to be. Implant-based breast reconstruction may be performed in two stages (tissue expander and implant) or a single stage (direct-to-implant). Nipple-sparing mastectomy reconstruction, fat transfer, and pre-pectoral breast reconstruction are commonly performed procedures.

Flap Reconstruction

Microsurgical flap reconstruction uses your own natural tissue to restore a natural-looking and feeling breast. Tissue can be removed from one area of the body and used to replace the breast tissue that was removed. The most common tissue used comes from the abdomen (DIEP flap), but can also come from the thigh (PAP, TUG flap), buttocks (GAP flap), or the flank (LAP flap).

Hybrid Reconstruction

Although using your own tissue may offer several benefits, this option is not feasible for all patients. For thinner women, traditional flap reconstruction may not offer enough volume. Hybrid breast reconstruction combines flap and pre-pectoral implant reconstruction into one integrated procedure so that the reconstructed breast size is no longer limited by the amount of natural tissue available at the donor site.
