This gallery shows flap-based breast reconstruction by Dr Michael Yunaev in Sydney: reconstruction using the patient’s own tissue. Both cases here are delayed pedicled TRAM flap reconstructions, performed after mastectomy rather than at the same time. One followed chemotherapy, radiotherapy and genetic assessment and ran to several further procedures over two years. Each note sets out the cancer surgery that came first and the reconstruction sequence that followed. Individual results vary. Reconstruction choices are deeply personal; learn more about breast reconstruction Sydney, or book a consultation with Dr Yunaev.
