Latissimus Dorsi Flap

A Latissimus Dorsi Flap is a surgical procedure used to reconstruct the breast or restore tissue after removal, such as in breast cancer treatment. The surgeon takes a large muscle along with skin and fat from the back, near the shoulder blade, and carefully moves it to the chest area. This tissue maintains its blood supply, ensuring it stays healthy and heals well. The procedure provides natural tissue for reconstruction and can even include an implant if needed. It’s a reliable option that uses your own tissue to rebuild the breast shape effectively.
