[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The female breast consists out of skin, subcutaneous fat tissue and glandular tissue. Women who have had a mastectomy or breast amputation lack skin as well as breast volume (previously determined by the breast glandular tissue). The natural skin envelope around the breast has been discarded (except when a subcutaneous mastectomy has been performed) and needs to be replaced in addition to restoring the volume and natural breast projection.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-12″][vc_single_image image=”915″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” z_index=””][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDZGl2JTIwY2xhc3MlM0QlMjJsaW5lJTIyJTNFJTNDZGl2JTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1588950738374{margin-top: 110px !important;margin-bottom: 110px !important;}” z_index=””][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1588945536940{padding-top: 90px !important;padding-bottom: 90px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Their are two main approaches using cosmetic surgery<\/a> in breast reconstruction: either with prosthetic materials (such as breast implants) or by using the patient\u2019s own tissue (\u201cautologous\u201d reconstruction). The disadvantage of using prosthetic materials is that there is a risk of infection, migration of the implant, and scar tissue formation over time with deformation of the newly created breast. As well as this, prosthetic materials are not long lasting and will need to be changed after a certain period. The advantage of using the patient\u2019s own tissue is that the body \u201crecognizes\u201d the tissue as part of the patient and the result will be permanent. The reconstructed breast will have a very natural appearance and touch with preservation or restoration of the natural body contour.[\/vc_column_text]Contact us for more information about this treatment<\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1588950964642{margin-top: 110px !important;margin-bottom: 110px !important;padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}” z_index=”” background_color=”#fff5f0″][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1588945536940{padding-top: 90px !important;padding-bottom: 90px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”4\/6″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nBREAST RECONSTRUCTION: PERFORATOR FLAP<\/h2>\n
