At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics in Phoenix flap breast augmentation is an innovative procedure that uses your body's own tissue to enhance breast size and shape. This method is particularly beneficial for women with smaller breasts or those experiencing volume loss or sagging as a result of aging or pregnancy, offering a natural alternative to breast implants. This technique not only enhances breast volume but also provides a completely natural look and feel.
Here are some common types of flap augmentation:
Your flap breast augmentation journey begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your goals and assess your unique anatomy. On the day of your procedure, you will receive general anesthesia. Tissue is then carefully harvested from the donor site and transferred to the breast area. Our surgeons meticulously shape and position the tissue to achieve the desired enhancement. Incisions are closed with care to minimize scarring.
The procedure typically takes 4-6 hours, depending on the specific technique used. Our surgeons employ advanced, minimally invasive methods whenever possible to reduce recovery time and optimize results.

During your consultation, our Phoenix plastic surgeons will assess your unique anatomy and goals to determine if flap breast augmentation is right for you.
Completely natural results using your own tissue
We understand that the benefits of flap breast augmentation extend beyond physical changes. Our patients often report feeling more confident and comfortable in their own skin, enjoying enhanced femininity that looks and feels completely natural.
Ideal candidates for flap breast augmentation are generally in good overall health and are non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery. Patients must have adequate donor tissue (typically in the abdominal area or inner thigh). Flap breast augmentation is a good choice for those who desire natural breast enhancement without breast implants. During your consultation, our surgeons will thoroughly assess your body composition and discuss your goals to ensure flap breast augmentation is the right choice for you.
Recovery from flap breast augmentation typically takes longer than traditional implant-based augmentation due to the dual surgical sites. Most patients can return to light activities within 2-3 weeks, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. We provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure proper healing of both the breast and donor sites. Our team will closely monitor your progress through follow-up appointments, ensuring you achieve the best possible outcome.
Initial results are visible immediately after the procedure, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over the following months. The transferred tissue becomes a permanent part of your breast, providing long-lasting enhancement that ages naturally with your body.
To maintain your flap breast augmentation results, we recommend staying at a stable weight, following a healthy lifestyle, and attending all follow-up appointments. Patients often report a significant confidence boost and sense of satisfaction in their appearance after surgery.
