Types of Breast Reconstruction Techniques We Offer

At Akruti Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Centre, we provide a range of breast reconstruction techniques to meet different needs:

• Implant-Based Reconstruction: Utilizes silicone or saline implants to recreate the breast mound. This method may involve a two-stage process, including tissue expansion followed by implant placement.
• Autologous Tissue Reconstruction: Uses tissue from your own body (such as from the abdomen, back, or thighs) to reconstruct the breast. This technique offers a natural look and feel.
• Flap Reconstruction: Involves moving a flap of tissue from one part of the body to the chest area to create a new breast. Common types include TRAM flap, DIEP flap, and Latissimus Dorsi flap.
• Combination Approach: Sometimes, a combination of implants and autologous tissue is used to achieve optimal results.
