Breast construction with autologous tissue

There are numerous alternatives for replacing a missing breast with body tissue. The following lists various procedures which are carried out as standard today:

Latissimus dorsi flaps (widest muscle in the back)

TRAM flaps (TRAM = Transverse Rectus Abdominis Muscle-subcutaneous flaps),
Donor site: abdomen

DIEP flaps (DIEP = Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator)
Donor site: Abdomen
This procedure is carried out using microsurgery which guarantees tissue nutrition by connecting it to the vessels at the receiver site.

A positive, desired side effect of the abdominal skin flaps is the firmer abdomen associated with this.

We will gladly provide you with advice on the most suitable procedure for you as well as on possible complications and risks.
