TDAP Back Flap

The TDAP (Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator) flap is a transformative breast reconstruction technique that uses excess skin and fat from the back to recreate a natural-looking breast following a mastectomy or lumpectomy. This innovative procedure provides a reliable and effective way to restore breast volume and contour, helping patients achieve a more balanced and feminine silhouette. Often combined with implant-based reconstruction or fat grafting, the TDAP flap offers enhanced versatility in tailoring the reconstruction process to suit each patient’s unique anatomy and goals. This combination approach ensures a more natural and personalized outcome, giving patients greater confidence and satisfaction with their post-surgical appearance.

What is TDAP Back Flap?

The TDAP (Thoracodorsal Artery Perforator) flap is a breast reconstruction technique that utilizes excess skin and fat from the back to create a natural-looking breast following a mastectomy or lumpectomy. This method is ideal for patients who may not have enough tissue in other areas of the body for reconstruction. By carefully harvesting tissue from the back, the surgeon can restore the breast’s volume, shape, and symmetry.

This technique is often combined with implant-based reconstruction or fat grafting to enhance the overall aesthetic result. The TDAP flap offers a reliable solution for breast reconstruction, providing a soft, natural feel and appearance while minimizing donor site complications. It allows for a customized approach to meet the patient’s specific needs and desired outcomes, helping them regain confidence and a rejuvenated silhouette.

Benefits of TDAP Back Flap Reconstruction

The TDAP Back Flap offers several advantages for breast reconstruction, making it an effective and popular choice for many patients. Key benefits include:

Natural Feel

The use of your own tissue provides a soft, natural feel and appearance, closely mimicking the look and feel of a natural breast.

Minimal Scarring

Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring, often hidden in natural body creases or on the back.

Versatility

Can be combined with implants or fat grafting for enhanced volume, contour, and symmetry.

Long-Lasting Results

The reconstructed breast typically requires less maintenance over time compared to implants alone.

Improved Aesthetic Outcome

Provides a more natural and balanced breast appearance, helping to restore both shape and confidence.
