Reconstruction Techniques
Implant-Based Reconstruction
Immediate Reconstruction
Implant placement at the time of mastectomy, often using tissue expanders that are gradually filled before final implant placement.
Delayed Reconstruction
Reconstruction performed months or years after mastectomy, allowing time for cancer treatment completion.
Direct-to-Implant
Immediate placement of permanent implant in suitable candidates, avoiding the tissue expansion phase.

- Bilateral procedures
- Shorter recovery preference
Tissue Flap Reconstruction
DIEP Flap

Latissimus Dorsi Flap
Using back muscle and tissue, often combined with implant for optimal volume and shape.

Reconstruction Timing
Immediate Reconstruction
