Autologous breast reconstruction is a highly complex surgery that results in larger incisions and takes longer to heal. On the pro side, this type of reconstruction results in a more natural, permanent outcome. Thin women who do not have enough donor tissue may not benefit from this technique. Implant-based breast reconstruction is more common and requires smaller incisions with less recovery time. Because implants are foreign to the body, this type of reconstruction carries a small risk of complications such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, infection, and rippling.
