Singelberg Clinic

What makes this treatment better than other techniques ?

- Compared to other breast reconstructions with own tissue, no muscle is harvested to provide the bulk and blood supply of the new breast. This means that recovery is usually faster and easier.

The risk of abdominal complications such as bulging and hernia is very small.

- Compared to breast reconstruction with implants, there is a better shape and symmetry of the new breast. The consistency of the belly tissue is very similar to natural breast tissue. Your new breast will evolve with changes in body weight.

- Breast reconstruction using your own tissue is popular because it’s a long-lasting solution (implants usually have to be replaced after 10 to 15 years and may create severe capsular contracture after irradiation/radiotherapy, resulting in a painful, stiff , unnaturally looking breast)
