Breast reconstruction with multiple miniprostheses / 中华整形外科杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate a new technique for breast reconstruction with multiple miniprostheses,</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Each silicone miniprosthesis(10 approximately 15 ml) was implanted one by one beneath the prepared muscle pocket until the desired volume was achieved.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Seven patients were treated with the above mentioned technique, including five after gland fibroadenoma excision, one hemangioma excision and one reduction mammoplasty. The results were satisfactory.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The above mentioned technique with the miniprostheses may be another good way for breast augmentation and breast reconstruction with many advantages such as smaller incision, easy intraoperative assessment of the ideal size of the breast, easy handling the technique, perhaps low incidence of capsular contracture.</p>
