About Breast defects

Understand the condition, common triggers and treatment options that may require specialist assessment.

Disease Introduction

Breast defects are often caused by breast cancer surgery (mastrectomy), trauma, or congenital developmental abnormalities, manifesting as unilateral or bilateral breast loss, which affects physical balance and causes psychological trauma. Breast reconstruction can restore the shape of the breast using prostheses or autologous tissue flaps, and is an important surgical procedure combining breast surgery and plastic surgery.


Cutting-edge high-precision diagnostic and treatment technologies

1. DIEP perforator flap reconstruction : Excess skin and fat in the abdomen are harvested, and only the perforators of the inferior epigastric artery are preserved. The blood supply to the breast is reconstructed through microvascular anastomosis. It is the gold standard of autologous tissue reconstruction. It feels natural and has a long-lasting effect. At the same time, it can improve the shape of the abdomen. It is suitable for people with excess tissue in the abdomen.
2. Neurogenic Lymph Node Transplantation : Based on bipedicled DIEP reconstruction, this method combines direct neurogenic and vascularized lymph node transplantation to reconstruct breast sensation while improving or preventing upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery, achieving dual repair of breast shape and lymphatic function. It also improves upper limb lymphatic circulation and reduces postoperative swelling.
3. Free flap transplantation reconstruction : Depending on the conditions of different donor sites such as the back, abdomen, and thigh, free flaps such as TRAM are selected for breast reconstruction via microvascular anastomosis. The donor sites are diverse and the indications are wide. It can be flexibly adapted to different body types and previous surgical histories. The effect is natural and long-lasting, with a natural feel and lasting results.
4. Implant Reconstruction : Immediate or delayed implantation of silicone gel implants to reconstruct the breast. It is minimally invasive, has a fast recovery, and leaves no abdominal donor site scar. It is suitable for patients with good soft tissue coverage and no history of radiotherapy. The shape is controllable, the hospital stay is short, the shape is symmetrical, the hospital stay is short, the recovery is fast, and the shape is symmetrical and natural.
5. Immediate and Delayed Reconstruction : Combining immediate reconstruction during tumor resection or delayed reconstruction after surgery, and coordinating tumor treatment and aesthetic needs with breast surgery, optimizing the timing of breast shape reconstruction without affecting tumor follow-up, taking into account both efficacy and psychological needs of patients.
