Autologous reconstruction may look and feel more natural, as it employs your own tissue. There are no risks of implant complications such as breakage. Generally, there are four major donor sites that are used when grafting tissue to form the reconstructed breast. The upper stomach, lower stomach, upper back, and buttocks are areas where a “flap” of tissue can be taken.
