Immediate reconstruction after subcutaneous mastectomy.
We describe an improved technique for subcutaneous mastectomy using two surgical approaches, one through a short axillary incision and the other through an inframmary incision. Pathological breast tissue is removed from the prepectoral space through the lower incision and a silicone implant is placed in the retropectoral space through the axillary approach. A further modification is described using a laterally rotated inframmary dermis flap to reinforce the lateral margin of the retropectoral space containing the prosthesis.
