Preoperative breast size affects reconstruction status following mastectomy

The Breast Journal Sep 07, 2017

Weissler EH, et al. – The connection between breast size and reconstructive choices are evaluated in this study. The outcome suggests larger breasted women may be considered worse prosthetic reconstruction candidates because of increased complications and suboptimal aesthetic outcomes but may find the increased invasiveness and recovery of autologous reconstruction an unattractive alternative. Furthermore, it is possible that surgeons may be less supportive of breast reconstruction for larger breasted women if there are concerns about safety or the aesthetic quality of the result. Later on, qualitative research must be done to ascertain why more larger breasted women choose not to be reconstructed as well as develop better ways to increase their reconstructive alternatives.
