Assessing aesthetic outcomes of different incision types for nipple-sparing mastectomy followed by radiation therapy in prepectoral direct-to-implant breast reconstruction: a retrospective study
While IMF and PR incisions yielded similar aesthetic outcomes post-radiation, IMF incisions showed trends toward better symmetry, especially at higher radiation doses. These findings support the IMF incision as a favorable choice in NSM with DTI reconstruction followed by PMRT, though patient anatomy and preferences remain critical for surgical planning.
