LAP Flap Breast Reconstruction

LAP flap breast reconstruction is an advanced microsurgical procedure that uses tissue from the lower back and upper buttock area to recreate the natural shape of the breast following mastectomy. During this procedure, a surgeon carefully transfers skin and fat along with its blood supply to the chest, where it is connected to new blood vessels using microsurgical techniques. Because the reconstruction uses the patient’s own tissue rather than an implant, the result often feels softer and more natural. The LAP flap can be a good option for patients who may not be candidates for abdominal-based reconstruction or who prefer to avoid implants while restoring breast volume and contour.
