With autologous reconstruction, one of the biggest decisions we’ll make with you is where we’ll harvest the donor tissue that’s used to restore the shape and size of your breast. We refer to the donor tissue as a “flap,” which includes fat, skin, and sometimes muscle. As expert microsurgeons, Dr. Stalder and his team will listen to you, assess your situation, your life goals, and decide which flaps will yield the best results. Having mastered the latest and most advanced autologous breast reconstruction techniques, Dr. Stalder and his team can show you the advantages of each type of flap surgery. With that in mind, let’s examine the types of flap surgeries we offer for breast reconstruction patients:
Uses skin and fat from the lower abdomen to reconstruct the breast while preserving the abdominal muscles.
Learn MoreUses skin and fat from the lower abdomen to rebuild the breast using superficial blood vessels without disturbing the abdominal muscles.
Learn MoreAn advanced abdominal flap technique that preserves muscle while providing additional options for patients with complex blood vessel anatomy.
Learn MoreUses skin and fat from the lower abdomen with specialized blood vessel techniques to create a natural breast while preserving muscle.
Learn MoreUses skin and fat from the upper inner thigh to reconstruct the breast without requiring implants or removing muscle.
Learn MoreUses skin and fat from the lower back to create a natural breast, offering an alternative when abdominal tissue is not suitable.
Learn MoreUses skin and fat from the upper buttock to reconstruct the breast while preserving the underlying gluteal muscle.
Learn MoreUses skin and fat from the upper back to reconstruct the breast while preserving the latissimus dorsi muscle.
Learn MoreCombines a patient's own tissue with a breast implant to achieve the desired breast shape and volume.
Learn MoreCombines tissue from multiple donor sites to create a fuller, natural breast when a single flap cannot provide enough volume.
