Cumulative Medical Costs of Prepectoral Versus Subpectoral Implant-based Breast Reconstruction: A Single-Center Retrospective Analysis

Prepectoral implant-based reconstruction is associated with significantly higher surgical and cumulative costs compared with subpectoral reconstruction. These results provide critical cost-related insights as prepectoral techniques gain traction. Addressing these cost variables could facilitate broader implementation of prepectoral procedures, leveraging their potential patient-centered benefits.
