Reconstructive procedures can be broadly categorized into two types: autologous tissue reconstruction and implant-based reconstruction. Autologous tissue reconstruction uses the patient's own tissue, often harvested from areas like the abdomen, back, or thighs. Implant-based reconstruction typically involves the use of silicone or saline implants. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on various factors including the extent of cancer surgery, patient health, and preference.
