Many choose to have an autologous reconstruction because
the aesthetic results are believed to be better than those of
an implant-based reconstruction (Weiler-Mithoff, 2006).
Autologous reconstructions are believed to be more versatile,
natural in appearance, durable, and better able to withstand
radiotherapy and do not incite foreign-body reactions (Weiler-
Mithoff; Zenn, 2001).
