Abstract
Introduction: Subcutaneously placed breast implants for reconstruction have been associated with unsatisfactory cosmetic outcomes and high implant loss rates. In our unit they are used for skin envelope preservation to allow completion of adjuvant treatments that may negatively affect a definitive reconstruction. We noted that some patients subsequently declined definitive reconstruction. We aimed to quantify this, identify factors contributing to these decisions, and assess rates of implant loss in this group.
