Breast reconstruction
After breast cancer surgery, there may be a desire to recreate the natural shape and volume of the breast based on each patient's individual circumstances and wishes. Breast reconstruction can be performed after a mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) or for partial breast reconstruction. This can be performed using implants, autologous tissue or a combination of these two methods.
The Faculty is the only private clinic in the Nordic countries that performs breast reconstruction using the DIEP Lambo technique. This method involves taking skin and tissue from the side of the chest and moving it forwards to fill out the outer side of the breast when needed. It is often used in combination with implants for reconstructive purposes.
What is the difference between implants and autologous tissue?
Implants are artificial silicone inserts that are placed to restore volume. Autologous tissue means that tissue from your own body - often the abdomen or chest - is used to create a more natural looking breast. The choice of method depends on your body's conditions, preferences and previous treatments such as radiotherapy.

The Faculty is the only private clinic in the Nordic countries that performs breast reconstructions using the so-called DIEP flap. The method involves taking skin and tissue from the side of the rib cage and moving it forwards to fill in with tissue to the outer side of the breast if necessary. It is often used for reconstructive purposes in combination with implants.

When can breast reconstruction be performed?
Breast reconstruction can be done at the same time as breast cancer surgery (immediate reconstruction) or at a later stage (delayed reconstruction), depending on medical factors and personal preferences. Our surgeons will help you find the best timing based on your situation.
How long is the recovery after breast reconstruction?
Recovery time varies depending on the method. Reconstruction with implants often takes 2-4 weeks, while DIEP Lambo requires longer recovery - often 4-6 weeks. We will provide you with clear guidance throughout the process and follow you up closely after the procedure.
