This applies to both preventive mastectomies and to people who have undergone a mastectomy in the past.
Reconstruction with own tissue
A breast reconstruction with own tissue is the most natural way of breast reconstruction. This restores the breast volume with your own fat tissue. The lost skin can also be restored. It is one of the most durable methods to restore the breast.
Reconstruction with a prosthesis

The aims of a breast reconstruction
Aesthetics
A beautiful breast reconstruction is of course paramount. Harmony maintaining or creating is also important.
Comfort
A breast that feels comfortable for you and does not hinder you in daily activities.
Natural feeling
The breast should feel soft and warm, just like a normal breast.
Dynamics
The breast must move in accordance with the positional changes of the body. It should not be a static volume.
Stabiel
The result must be stable and remain so in the long term. It is not intended for you to have to come back for corrections.
Sensibility
The sensitivity in the breast should be preserved or restored if possible.
The breast is an important symbol of femininity, intimacy, and sensuality. This reconstruction helps to restore balance to the body and facilitate healing, which has a positive impact on self-confidence and the feeling of being "restored."
The choice of method depends on your personal preferences, the options available, and the advice of the treating physician.
A fundamental principle in plastic surgery is: "What has been removed from the body must be replaced or restored by something that resembles it as closely as possible."
Therefore, reconstruction with one's own tissue is often preferred.
