Autologous Breast


drcharlesmaalouf

17 views

Autologous breast reconstruction is a  surgical procedure that utilizes a patient’s own tissue, typically from the abdomen, to reconstruct the breast after mastectomy. This approach offers numerous advantages. Firstly, it provides a natural look and feel, as it uses the patient’s own tissue, resulting in breasts that age and change in a way that mirrors the natural aging process.
 
 This approach also avoids the need for breast implants, which can be particularly appealing to those who are concerned about potential complications or implant maintenance. Autologous breast reconstruction often leads to a more balanced and harmonious body contour, as it simultaneously enhances the appearance of the reconstructed breast and the donor site, as is the case for a DIEP flap for example where an abdominoplasty is performed and the excised abdominal skin and fat are used to reconstruct the breast.
