Tissue Flap Surgery for Breast Reconstruction
How Well It Works
Most women who have tissue flap surgery are happy with the results. Compared to breast reconstruction with implants, tissue flap procedures require a longer surgery and recovery time but result in a more natural-looking breast.
Breast reconstruction cannot restore normal feeling to your breast, but with time, some feeling may return.
