Autologous Flap Results

Delayed Reconstruction Using Patients' Own Tissue

Case Details

This patient presented for reconstruction well after her bilateral mastectomies were performed. Dr. Stalder used the patients' own tissue for this bilateral reconstruction, employing the DIEP flap- where tissue is taken from the lower abdomen (thus simultaneously performing an abdominoplasty or "tummy tuck"). Dr. Stalder created nipples for this patient, which were subsequently colored by tattoo.
