Autologous Breast Tissue Reconstruction

Definition

Autologous breast tissue reconstruction is a surgical procedure that involves using a patient's own tissue, often from the abdomen, back, or buttocks, to reconstruct the breast after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. This type of reconstruction aims to restore the natural shape and appearance of the breast while minimizing the risk of complications associated with implant-based reconstruction.
