Perforator Flap Breast Reconstruction Before & After Photos

About Our Patient Photos:

The photographs in this section are of actual patients of Dr. Joshua Levine. They have undergone various types of natural tissue breast reconstruction (perforator free flaps), i.e. DIEP/SIEA, PAP, GAP, delayed, immediate, with nipple-sparing mastectomy, etc. Keep in mind that each patient is unique and results may vary. To discuss your individual case, please contact our office to schedule a consultation.

Browse Patient Result Photos by Procedure:

Abdomen

DIEP / SIEA FLAP

The abdomen is the most common donor site in perforator flap breast reconstruction. Extra skin and fat is removed to reconstruct one or both breasts resulting in a flattened abdomen similar to that of a tummy tuck.

Abdomen + Thigh

COMBINATION FLAPS

Perforator flaps from different donor sites can be combined/stacked to obtain adequate volume in breast reconstruction. One example is a “stacked” DIEP and PAP combination.

Thigh

PAP FLAP

The PAP flap uses available tissue from the back of the thigh at the buttock crease (“banana roll”.) This is a great option for those who are thin or have low body fat.

Abdomen

SHaEP FLAP

By extending the DIEP, more tissue can be used from the hip in combination with abdominal tissue to get the volume needed to reconstruct both breasts.

Lower Buttock

IGAP & SGAP FLAP

The IGAP, or “In-the-crease” IGAP, uses available tissue from the lower buttock just above the buttock crease. This option is great for those who are thin or have low body fat. The SGAP flap uses available tissue from the upper buttock.

Underarm

TDAP & ICAP FLAPS

These flaps use available tissue from the chest wall underneath the arm and are particularly useful for partial breast reconstruction.

Indication:

Poland Syndrome

Poland Syndrome breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure focused on restoring symmetry and aesthetic balance by utilizing techniques such as autologous tissue transfer to address the underdevelopment or absence of chest muscles on one side of the body

Indication:

Implant Failure / Unsatisfactory Reconstruction

After implant failure or unsatisfactory reconstruction, natural tissue reconstruction in patients offers enhanced outcomes, utilizing the body’s own tissues to achieve improved symmetry and more satisfactory aesthetic results.
