This 42 year old developed a left breast cancer following an augmentation mastopexy. In order to maintain her breast volume, she underwent bilateral latissimus flaps with tissue expanders at the time of her mastectomies. Subsequently, her expanders were replaced with 700cc round, smooth silicone implants.
This patient was a 34 year old with the BRCA 2 gene mutation who decided to have have bilateral "nipple sparing" mastectomies. She underwent bilateral mastectomies with tissue expander placement. She had permanent silicone implants placed three months later.
This 21 year old was interested in bilateral mastectomies and reconstruction after she found out she had the BRCA-2 mutation. Both her grandmother and mother had had advanced breast cancer and she wished to prevent its occurrence in her. She was 5'2" and weighed 145 pounds. She underwent bilateral skin-sparring mastectomies and reconstruction with bilateral latissimus flaps with silicone implants.
This 47 year old was interested in a delayed reconstruction of her right breast. Her first stage was a right latissimus flap with a tissue expander and a left mastopexy. Her reconstruction was completed with placement of silicone implants and a right nipple areolar reconstruction.
This 34-year-old woman was found to have a gene that causes breast cancer (BRCA.) Due to a very high risk of developing breast cancer, she elected to have both breasts removed with simultaneous latissimus flaps and tissue expanders. At a second stage, she had silicone implants placed and had nipple areolar reconstruction.
