The Utility of a Lateral Adipodermal Flap in Prepectoral Direct-to-implant Breast Reconstruction
Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction has become more common given the reduced dissection, decreased postoperative pain, elimination of animation deformity, and improved aesthetics compared with subpectoral reconstructions. Despite these benefits, surgeons must contend with increased rates...

description | Prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction has become more common given the reduced dissection, decreased postoperative pain, elimination of animation deformity, and improved aesthetics compared with subpectoral reconstructions. Despite these benefits, surgeons must contend with increased rates of implant rippling and more tenuous implant positioning and coverage, especially in direct-to-implant reconstructions. Although the use of an acellular dermal matrix can assist with both implant rippling and support/positioning, it does not protect against implant exposure, and rippling can still occur, despite its use, with significant additional cost. This article looks into the use of a lateral adipodermal flap that assists with reducing the mismatch between the excess skin and implant surface area, implant positioning (by helping secure the lateral mammary fold), and providing implant coverage. Twenty-two patients underwent 38 nipple-sparing mastectomies and prepectoral direct-to-implant reconstructions using a lateral adipodermal flap without acellular dermal matrix. No patients had evidence of implant malposition or exposure with at least 6 months follow-up. The author concludes that the lateral adipodermal flap may be helpful in securing the lateral mammary fold, reducing excess skin and providing viable tissue coverage in patients undergoing prepectoral direct-to-implant reconstruction. |
