Abstract
Abstract For women undergoing mastectomy, implant breast reconstruction is increasingly common. Over the past 5 years, new trends in implant reconstruction have been evolving. The use of ‘next-generation’ silicone implants, acellular dermal matrices and fat grafting have expanded the range of options available to patients. In addition, for women undergoing both skin-sparing and nipple-sparing mastectomies, there is growing experience with single-stage implant reconstruction (i.e. implant placement directly at the time of mastectomy without use of a tissue expander). Finally, indications for post-mastectomy radiation continue to increase and this has important implications for long-term patient satisfaction with implant reconstruction.
