With this combination of techniques, the nipple areola is removed along with breast glandular tissue, while the remaining breast skin is preserved during mastectomy. Then, a flap of skin and fat from the lower abdomen is transplanted to the chest wall.

Women in this section underwent mastectomy, followed by DIEP flap reconstruction during a later, second stage procedure. DIEP flap reconstruction involves transplanting a flap of skin and fat from the lower abdomen to the chest wall.

In this natural-tissue flap reconstruction technique, fatty tissue is transplanted from the inner thigh to the chest wall to create a breast. Pioneered by a NYBRA surgeon, the fleur-de-lis TUG flap and PAP flap extends the option of natural tissue reconstruction to women who may not be ideal candidates for DIEP flap reconstruction.

This combination of techniques removes the nipple areola along with breast glandular tissue, while preserving remaining breast skin during mastectomy. Then, the latissimus dorsi muscle and skin from the back are transferred to the chest wall to create a breast. In most cases, this flap is placed over a breast implant.

In these cases, the latissimus dorsi muscle and skin from the back were transferred to the chest wall to create a breast during a second stage operation. This can be done to correct partial mastectomy defects or to salvage unsatisfactory outcomes from prior implant or other flap breast reconstruction procedures.

In these cases, the nipple areola is left intact along with the remaining breast skin, and only the breast glandular tissue is removed during mastectomy. Then, our surgeons place a breast implant immediately, without using a tissue expander.

With this combination of approaches, the nipple areola is left intact along with the remaining breast skin, and only the breast glandular tissue is removed during mastectomy. Then, a tissue expander is placed. The expander is exchanged for a final implant during a later, second stage procedure.

Women who have had traditional pedicled TRAM flap breast reconstruction risk developing lower abdominal weakness and contour deformities. While many are told that they have little recourse, we pioneered a unique and reliable abdominal wall reconstruction procedure to repair TRAM flap related hernias a contour deformities.

Tattooing adds natural nipple areola color to the final breast reconstruction. In some cases, tattooing alone can create the appearance of a three dimensional nipple.
