Silicone Implants

Breast reconstruction, especially after mastectomy, is done with silicone implants. The implants are gel-like material filled in silicon case placed under the breast’s skin to give them proper shape and volume. The breast surgeon may or may not use tissue transfer implants In breast reconstruction, depending on individual cases.

Body Fat Transfer

This is best when a patient undergoes a liposuction procedure to harvest the fat so that fat extracted is processed and injected in and around the breast tissue or implant for proper breast shape formation via breast surgeries. Fat transfer also adds natural volume and symmetry to breasts. The procedure may also be followed by nipple and areola reconstruction to complete breast reconstruction.

Reconstruction of the Nipple and Areola
