Reconstructive Surgery
Tissue expansion
Tissue expansion is a straightforward procedure that helps your body grow extra skin, which can then be used to reconstruct almost any part of the body.
About the Procedure
What Is Tissue Expansion?
Tissue expansion is a relatively straightforward reconstructive procedure. It enables your body to grow extra skin, and that new skin can then be used in reconstructing almost any part of the body. The most common reason for tissue expansion is for breast reconstruction patients after a mastectomy.

Talk with Your Surgeon
Every reconstruction is different. Your surgeon can explain whether tissue expansion is an option for your situation and what the process would involve for the area being reconstructed.
