Abstract 159: Deformity After Prepectoral Versus Subpectoral Implant-based Breast Reconstruction: A Clinical Outcomes And Differential Costs Analysis

摘要

Purpose: Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction after mastectomy has regained popularity over subpectoral implant placement in recent years. With the advent of novel tissue replacement matrices and tissue perfusion assessment technologies, prepectoral implant placement has been shown to confer multiple advantages over subpectoral placement, such as reduced animation deformity, decreased pain, and improved muscular function. However, prepectoral implant placement does carry certain disadvantages such as contour deformity and rippling. This study evaluated deformity and revision surgery after prepectoral versus subpectoral breast reconstruction in post-mastectomy patients.
