The SGAP flap has been primarily used as an alternate for breast reconstruction, and requires significant microsurgical experience to harvest. The thickness of fat available provides volume for unilateral reconstruction, but positioning and the donor scar deformity have made this a less popular choice even among very experienced microsurgeons.
