Abstract The introduction of skin-reducing mastectomy, which uses LDF reconstruction or inserts a silicon implant allows the surgeon to achieve a safe oncologic result plus a cosmetically satisfying reconstruction. Choosing the suitable patient for the procedure is essential to avoid the risks of complications such as wound ischemia, infection or flap loss. Skin-reducing mastectomies performed by skilled surgeons achieve good results and patient satisfaction; however, as for other breast-conserving surgeries, for some patients it may not be the ultimate solution, and may require surgical revision to obtain optimal results. It seems to us that the choice of immediate symmetrization is a viable choice to provide immediate better satisfaction and quality of life for patients. |
