- Staged Implant-Based Reconstruction
This patient diagnosed with BRCA gene mutation was high risk for developing breast cancer and desired bilateral prophylactic mastectomy. Although she had previously undergone a breast reduction, she is still a candidate for nipple sparing mastectomy and implant reconstruction. She had a pre-pectoral tissue expander placed at the time of mastectomy followed by exchange to permanent implants at a second operation with fat grafting for final contour.
