SGAP Flap

Superior gluteal artery perforator flap. Uses skin and fat from the upper buttock, sparing the gluteal muscle. An option when abdominal tissue isn't available or preferred. Best suited to small or medium volume breasts; for a larger breast it may be combined with an implant or another flap.
