How using your own body tissue can help rebuild the breast after cancer surgery; doctors explain the flap reconstruction procedure

Autologous flap reconstruction uses the body's own tissue to rebuild a natural breast mound.

This procedure adds time to surgery but profoundly impacts survivors' lives.

Early movement and showering aid recovery, allowing a return to light work within weeks.

Full recovery enables unrestricted physical activities and normal clothing choices.

Life after reconstruction is active and complete, reclaiming wholeness and confidence.
