    One option for breast reconstruction is a latissimus dorsi flap procedure. The latissimus dorsi is a long muscle that runs beneath the armpit and diagonally across the back.

    What is LD flap breast reconstruction?
    LD flap breast reconstruction is an operation that creates a new breast shape using tissue taken from your back. The surgeon uses a muscle called the latissimus dorsi (LD) and some overlying fat and skin from your back. They tunnel the flap and its blood supply under the skin below your armpit. This creates a pedicled flap.

    What does a latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction look like?
    After a latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction, your newly reconstructed breast will not look and feel exactly the same as your natural breast. Typically, a flap will look and feel more like natural breast tissue than having breast implants alone. You may elect to have additional surgery to create a nipple and areola.

    Should I get a latissimus dorsi flap?
    The latissimus dorsi flap may be a good option for women who have small- to medium-sized breasts. For women with large breasts, this procedure doesn't provide enough fat tissue to fully reconstruct a similar size breast. Blood vessels will be moved and/or reconnected during a tissue flap procedure.
