Prepectoral and subpectoral direct-to-implant breast reconstruction yield high cosmetic scores: Surgeon ratings favor prepectoral placement—secondary results from a randomized controlled trial
Cosmetic satisfaction was high in both groups at any given time point. While patient ratings were comparable, surgeons evaluated prepectoral implant placement superior at 12 months. These findings support prepectoral DTI reconstruction as a cosmetically favorable option in eligible patients.
