Are you looking for clear, visual explanations of breast reconstruction surgery? 3D animated videos are one of the best ways to learn. Diagrams and text can only show so much. A 3D animation lets you see exactly how an operation is done, step by step.
Where can you watch these animations?
Dr. Foumani has made a free library of 3D animated surgery videos. You can watch them here:
The library currently includes animations of:
DIEP flap breast reconstruction
Implant-based reconstruction
Grisotti flap (nipple and areola reconstruction)
Gluteal flap
Latissimus dorsi (back) flap
Thigh flap
Fat injections (lipofilling)
And many more techniques
Why watch 3D animated surgery videos?
3D animations make complex operations easy to follow for everyone. Maybe you are a patient getting ready for surgery, a family member, or a healthcare worker. Either way, these videos help you understand:
What happens during the operation
How the tissue is moved or shaped
What the result will look like
Free access for patients and professionals
All videos on this page are completely free. You do not need to register. They are available in several languages, to help patients around the world.
Written by Dr. Mahyar Foumani, plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction. Based on the book 'Breast Reconstruction Explained.'
