Abstract

UNLABELLED: Autologous breast reconstruction historically required flaps that were invasive, required prolonged operative times and recoveries, and resulted in varying degrees of donor site morbidity. We present our early results with a minimally invasive completely autologous breast reconstruction technique utilizing buried dermato-cutaneous (DMC) flaps and immediate fat grafting. A 25-patient, 43-breast consecutive case series is presented.
