Restore a Natural Look and Feel without Implants

While implants are a common option, Novomed’s board-certified plastic surgeons are experts in a wide range of implant-free breast reconstruction techniques. These procedures utilize your own body tissue for a natural look and feel, promoting a balanced and symmetrical appearance. Here’s a closer look at some of the advanced methods we offer:

Autologous Tissue Flap Reconstruction:

Autologous tissue flap reconstruction offers a remarkable solution for breast reconstruction by utilizing your own healthy tissue from another area of your body. This approach provides several advantages:

Natural look and feel: The transferred tissue closely resembles the texture and pliability of natural breast tissue, creating a more natural aesthetic outcome compared to implants.
Long-lasting results: This technique offers long-term volume and stability, potentially reducing the need for future revision procedures.
Versatility in donor sites: Depending on your body type and preferences, the surgeon can harvest tissue from various areas like the abdomen ( tummy tuck effect!), back, or buttocks. Each donor site offers unique advantages:
- Abdominal tissue: This option provides a plentiful source of skin and fatty tissue, allowing for excellent breast mound reconstruction and potentially achieving a flatter abdomen in the process.
- Back tissue: The latissimus dorsi muscle on your back, along with overlying skin, can be used for reconstruction. This technique offers good support and stability, particularly suitable for women with larger breasts.
- Buttock tissue: In some cases, tissue from the buttocks can be a good option, especially for women with less abdominal tissue.
Sculpting for individuality: The transferred tissue can be meticulously sculpted to achieve your desired breast shape and size, promoting a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.

During your consultation with our constructive surgeon, they will discuss which donor site might be the most suitable option for you.

Lat Dorsi Flap Reconstruction:

The latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction is a unique technique that utilizes the latissimus dorsi muscle, a broad and strong muscle located on your back, to create the foundation of the breast mound. This approach offers several benefits:

Excellent support and stability: The latissimus dorsi muscle provides exceptional support and stability for the reconstructed breast, particularly beneficial for women with larger breasts or those desiring a more natural lift.
Nipple and areola reconstruction: The overlying skin from the back can be used for nipple and areola reconstruction, potentially reducing the need for additional procedures.
Combined technique: In some cases, the latissimus dorsi muscle can be combined with a skin graft from another area to create a more complete reconstruction.

While this technique offers significant advantages, it’s important to understand that it might involve a larger incision on the back and potentially affect some back muscle function. Our surgeons will discuss these details with you during your consultation to ensure you have all the information to make an informed decision.

DIEP Flap Reconstruction:

The DIEP flap reconstruction represents a state-of-the-art technique in implant-free breast reconstruction. This innovative procedure utilizes the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap, harvested from your lower abdomen. The DIEP flap includes not only skin and fatty tissue but also its own blood supply, ensuring optimal tissue survival and function after transfer. This approach boasts several advantages:

Exceptional aesthetic results: The DIEP flap closely resembles natural breast tissue in terms of texture, color, and sensation, leading to exceptional aesthetic outcomes.
Minimal scarring at donor site: The DIEP flap harvesting technique minimizes scarring at the donor site in the lower abdomen. This is a significant benefit for many women who prioritize a cosmetically pleasing outcome in both the chest and abdomen.
Faster recovery: Because the DIEP flap includes its own blood supply, it generally leads to a faster recovery time compared to other flap techniques.

The DIEP flap reconstruction is a more complex procedure, and it’s essential to choose a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon for optimal results. Our surgeons at Novomed are leaders in this technique and will ensure you receive the highest quality care.
