Abstract
- Summary:. Implant-based breast reconstruction is a safe and effective option associated with high patient satisfaction. Techniques have evolved significantly over the past several decades, characterized mostly by a reduction in the number of stages and time required to complete reconstruction, with maximal preservation of native breast elements. Nevertheless, both old and new techniques of implant-based breast reconstruction have a role depending on the specific clinical scenario, and thus plastic surgeons should be well versed in the full spectrum of options. This article reviews the key considerations underlying decision-making in implant-based breast reconstruction and the most effective techniques, with a focus on optimizing safety and efficiency.
