Is Prepectoral Implant Reconstruction Associated With Better Physical Well‐Being?

For many patients, prepectoral reconstruction confers esthetic benefits, including better projection and more stable implant and nipple position. However, there remain patients for whom a retropectoral approach is more suitable due to the risks of rippling and implant visibility. Surgical decision-making should continue to be individualized according to anatomic and disease-specific factors as well as surgeon and patient preference. However, patients should be reassured that their long-term physical well-being is unlikely to be affected by which technique is chosen.

Abstract

For many patients, prepectoral reconstruction confers esthetic benefits, including better projection and more stable implant and nipple position. However, there remain patients for whom a retropectoral approach is more suitable due to the risks of rippling and implant visibility. Surgical decision-making should continue to be individualized according to anatomic and disease-specific factors as well as surgeon and patient preference. However, patients should be reassured that their long-term physical well-being is unlikely to be affected by which technique is chosen.
