Breast Reconstruction Using Own Tissues at Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

What Is Breast Reconstruction Using Own Tissues?

This technique restores the shape and volume of the breast by using the patient's own tissues, typically from the back, abdomen, or thighs. This procedure is ideal for women who:

• Do not want or cannot use implants
• Have sufficient tissue for reconstruction
• Seek a natural and long-lasting result

Types of Breast Reconstruction Using Own Tissues
