Abdominal tissue reconstruction is where they can take the tissue from the stomach area to use to fill in the breast instead of an implant. The joke of course is you get breast reconstruction and a tummy tuck all at once.

Ok, I get it now. That procedure wasn't even brought into the discussion when I met with the breast surgeon. Maybe because she thought I didn't have enough extra fat in my belly! 😅 I'm guessing of course. Thank you, for your response.
