What is Breast Reconstruction?

Breast reconstruction is a surgical procedure designed to rebuild the breast following mastectomy or lumpectomy. This transformative surgery restores the breast’s natural shape, size, and appearance using either tissue from your own body or breast implants. For many women, breast reconstruction serves as an essential part of emotional healing, helping them reclaim their femininity, confidence, and sense of wholeness.

PRMA is one of the leading breast reconstruction centers in the world. Our advanced techniques include microsurgical flap options such as our exclusive High Def DIEP®, as well as our proprietary TruSense® procedure designed to restore breast sensation. Whether you are newly diagnosed or considering reconstruction after previous implant procedures, our dedicated team is here to support and empower you throughout your journey.

Understanding Your Options

Immediate vs. Delayed Reconstruction

PRMA offers two advanced approaches to DIEP flap reconstruction: the standard DIEP flap and the High-Definition DIEP® flap. Both procedures use your own tissue and preserve your abdominal muscles, but they differ in the level of surgical refinement and aesthetic enhancement. Here’s what you need to know:

Immediate Breast Reconstruction

Immediate Breast Reconstruction

Immediate Breast Reconstruction

Immediate breast reconstruction takes place at the same time as a mastectomy and often provides the best cosmetic results. This option can also reduce emotional distress by minimizing the number of surgeries required while preserving body image (avoiding the experience of a flat chest). Candidates for immediate breast reconstruction are those who:

  • Won’t need post-mastectomy radiation
  • Seek the best possible cosmetic outcome
  • Want to avoid the experience of a flat chest
  • Seek fewer surgeries and faster recovery
  • Feel ready to choose reconstruction at diagnosis

Natural vs. Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction

Natural Breast Reconstruction

Natural breast reconstruction uses your own tissue-often from the abdomen, thigh, or buttocks-to create a soft, warm, and natural-looking breast. PRMA is internationally recognized for our expertise in natural tissue procedures like the High Def DIEP® flap. These techniques offer long-term peace of mind without the risks of implants-and when paired with our exclusive TruSense® technology, they can restore sensation,too.
