This gap is usually closed using the patient’s own tissue and\/or nylon mesh to prevent the abdominal wall from weakening.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text css=””]The tissue block, which was removed from the abdomen using a muscle pedicle, is then used to shape the right breast.<\/p>\n
