Subcutaneous Prosthetic Breast Reconstructions following Skin Reduction Mastectomy

Prepectoral immediate reconstruction is gaining popularity by offering superior breast shape, no animation, improved implant pocket control, faster expansion, and less pain. In the recent years, multiple studies have emphasized the advantages of prepectoral direct or 2-stage prosthetic reconstruction displaying low complications in selected patients, small to medium size breast size, and none to moderate breast ptosis. In the published reports, a breast prosthesis is wrapped entirely or partly in a sheet of acellular dermal matrix or mesh and placed in the subcutaneous plane substituting the removed breast tissue.
