BEST BREAST RECONSTRUCTION SURGEONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA
Direct to Implant Breast Reconstruction
During Direct to Implant (DTI) breast reconstruction, implants are placed during the same operation as a mastectomy. This procedure immediately restores the structure and volume of the breast without the need for additional surgeries. While tissue expander placement is an option for most women, a smaller number of patients can safely undergo single-staged DTI reconstruction.
