π Your Own Tissue vs Implants — The Truth About Reconstruction Complications
Complication Difference: Your Own Tissue vs Implants
When we talk about breast reconstruction, both your own tissue and implant-based methods can create excellent results.
But the type of complications that may occur over time are quite different —
and that’s what patients should understand before surgery. π©Ί
πΏ Your Own Tissue Reconstruction (from Abdomen or Back)
Reconstruction using your own tissue is completely safe for your health,
because it’s made from your own living tissue. π
However, as time passes, the tissue can slightly shrink or lose some volume,
which may cause aesthetic changes such as a softer or slightly smaller shape.
This is not a medical problem — it’s part of the natural healing process.
In these cases, a small touch-up procedure (for example, minor volume correction) can help restore balance and shape.
✨ Key Points:
-
No health issues at all
-
Slight shrinkage or volume decrease may occur naturally
-
Minor touch-up may be performed later for better symmetry or fullness
π Implant-Based Reconstruction
Implant reconstruction usually maintains its form and volume over time.
However, as it involves an artificial material, the complications are device-related,
such as firmness around the implant or mild shape adjustment during healing.
These are managed safely through regular follow-ups and simple corrective procedures if needed.
✨ Key Points:
-
Maintains overall shape and volume
-
Complications are device-related, not health-related
-
Regular check-ups help maintain good long-term results
π¬ Doctor’s Comment
“With your own tissue, there’s absolutely no harm to your health —
but small touch-ups can help refine the shape if the tissue shrinks a little.
With implants, the form stays stable, but it requires proper follow-up care.”
