Trends in Ancillary Procedures Following Staged Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction

In more recent cohorts, procedures aimed at correcting contour irregularities and rippling, specifically autologous fat grafting, have become more common. In contrast, the rates of NAC reconstruction and nipple tattooing have decreased, possibly because of challenges related to thin mastectomy skin flaps and limited soft-tissue coverage, which are more common in prepectoral reconstruction.

Abstract

In more recent cohorts, procedures aimed at correcting contour irregularities and rippling, specifically autologous fat grafting, have become more common. In contrast, the rates of NAC reconstruction and nipple tattooing have decreased, possibly because of challenges related to thin mastectomy skin flaps and limited soft-tissue coverage, which are more common in prepectoral reconstruction.
