🎬 uses muscle, skin, and fat from the upper back, tunneled under the skin to the chest to reconstruct the breast. Often combined with an implant or fat grafting for volume, it is a reliable, versatile option for both immediate and delayed reconstruction, with scars typically hidden in the bra line.
👉The procedure takes about 3–4 hours, usually requiring a 2–3 day hospital stay. While the muscle is removed from the back, other muscles in the shoulder area compensate, allowing for full range of motion, though some temporary weakness may occur. A scar will be present on the back, usually positioned to be hidden within a bra line.
