Abstract
Breast reconstruction is offered to women undergoing mastectomy or breast conservation, given its safe nature and highly aesthetic reconstructive outcomes. Breast implants are safe, offer flexibility of sizes and projections, and shorter recovery. Autologous flaps allow women to avoid prosthetic devices, using skin and fat to replace breast tissue. The increasing frequency of nipple-sparing mastectomy, autologous fat grafting, use of acellular dermal matrices, and prepectoral prosthetic reconstruction have enhanced aesthetic outcomes. Breast conservation outcomes have been enhanced by immediate oncoplastic breast reconstruction to reduce the risks of contour deformities and breast asymmetry, and maintain excellent, oncologically safe, aesthetic outcomes.Entities:
