Breast Reconstruction with Implants
Breast reconstruction with implants rebuilds breast volume and shape using saline or silicone implants, offering a popular option for patients seeking a shorter overall recovery process compared to flap-based techniques. This approach can often be performed in one or two stages, depending on whether reconstruction begins immediately following mastectomy or at a later date, and your surgeon will help determine the timeline and implant type best suited to your body and goals.
DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction
DIEP flap breast reconstruction uses the patient’s own tissue, rather than implants, to rebuild the breast. This option is capable of producing a natural look and feel that changes along with the rest of the body over time. This advanced microsurgical technique relocates tissue from the abdomen while carefully preserving the underlying muscle, often providing the added benefit of a flatter abdominal contour. Because it doesn’t rely on implants, DIEP flap reconstruction can also be an appealing option for patients seeking a long-term solution with reduced concern for future implant-related maintenance or replacement.
