📣 Did you know that the TUG flap procedure is a great alternative for DIEP breast reconstruction? This technique uses skin, fat, and the gracilis muscle from the inner thigh to reconstruct the new breast. And the best part? Unlike other muscles, loss of the gracilis muscle does not result in any noticeable functional impairment. 👍

The TUG flap procedure involves dissecting tissue from the inner thigh and transplanting it to the chest where it is reattached microsurgically. The resulting thigh scar is generally well hidden near the groin crease. 🤫

But that's not all! Patients who undergo this procedure also receive an "inner thigh lift" as an added benefit. 🙌
