Description

This young woman presented with single unilateral breast cancer. She chose a unilateral left mastectomy. Reconstruction included a staged approach first with a tissue expander and allograft. Subsequent second stage surgery three months later included the removal of the expander on the left, shaping of the space, and placement of a silicone implant. The right breast had a lift and augmentation done at the second stage for symmetry. Finally, nipple reconstruction and fat grafting to the interface between the upper mastectomy and the implant completes her fine outcome. (Pending tattooing of the nipple.)
