Implant Size Versus Mastectomy Weight in Breast Reconstruction
A greater mismatch between implant size and mastectomy weight was a significant predictor of postoperative complications, including explantation. Knowing this, surgeons may choose to match implant size more evenly to mastectomy weight, opt for skin sparing mastectomies or consider operative techniques to minimize dead space.
