Breast reconstruction using your own tissue can be a long but rewarding process. It is important to understand what the process involves before deciding if this choice suits you.

The tissue used typically comes from either your abdomen or the latissimus dorsi muscle in your back. The removal of the excess abdominal tissue also serves to provide a tummy tuck.

The tissue is formed into a mound on the chest and then sculpted to form a new breast. If necessary, a small implant may also be inserted for better results.

The operation takes four to six hours and can require up to six weeks of recovery.
