Tummy Tuck Breast Reconstruction

Tummy tuck breast reconstruction is a common name for the TRAM Flap procedure. This is the most popular form of natural tissue reconstructive breast surgery performed throughout the world. The TRAM technique utilizes abdominal tissue to rebuild damaged or missing breasts without the need for a prosthetic implant.

Abdominoplasty Breast Reconstruction Benefits

This procedure is well loved by many women who require a breast reconstruction due to the dual benefits provided by the surgical technique. Not only are recipients able to enjoy a fully rebuilt breast, formed completely from their own organic tissue, but they are also blessed with a cosmetic abdominoplasty (TUMMY TUCK) to remove extra unwanted weight around their mid section, in the process. These women really do undergo a drastic transformation by choosing this particular form of mammary reconstruction.

Tummy Tuck Breast Reconstruction Drawbacks

Abdominoplasty breast reconstruction is a wonderful procedure, but is not right for every woman. Some patients are contraindicated for the TRAM flap technique based on general or specific health conditions or other factors, such as previous damaging abdominal surgery. For indicated patients, there are still the normal risks shared by all plastic surgeries, as well as specific procedural risks which should be discussed with your doctor prior to the operation.

The TRAM technique is difficult to endure, since it leaves 2 open surgical wounds to heal at the same time. The operation will take a lot out of any woman, but will be especially tough for a woman whose immune system has been compromised by cancer, radiation or chemotherapy. Be sure to address these issues with your doctor to prevent any unforeseen complications from occurring and spoiling your surgical results.

Tummy Tuck Breast Reconstruction Advice

This all natural reconstruction technique is a terrific option for many women who choose to undergo surgical breast repair using their own donor tissue. The abdominal tissue lends itself well to forming a new breast mound and the tummy is left flat and thin, which is an additional boon to many women. Some women are not qualified for the technique, simply because they do not have enough abdominal tissue to spare. I guess this is one of the rare times in life when having a bit of extra weight around the middle is actually a good thing…
