“…In 1987, the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASAP) [6] declared that breast cancer surveillance and screening “will become difficult” when using autologous fat injection to the breast. They also stated that AFT “can inhibit early detection of breast carcinoma and is therefore hazardous to public health.” Despite this, AFT has gained in popularity and many reports have been published on standardized techniques with good results [3, 4, 7–11]. In 2009, ASAP published a report from their Fat Graft Task Force [12], recommending that caution be taken regarding “those with risk factors for breast cancer” and that there might be an interference with “physical examination or breast cancer detection.” They concluded that AFT does not interfere with radiological examinations in lack of evidence of the opposite.…”

“…AFG appears to be a feasible and effective technique for correction of the many deformities that may occur in any breast quadrant, including medially located parasternal deformities, upper visible implant edges, asymmetry with the contralateral breast, and upper outer defects underneath the anterior axillary fold [151].…”

ObjectiveIn this work, the authors review recent data on the different methods and techniques of TE/implant-based reconstruction to determine the complication profiles and the advantages and disadvantages of the different techniques. This information will be valuable for surgeons performing breast reconstructions.Materials and methodsA thorough literature review was conducted by the authors concerning the current strategy of tissue expander (TE)/implant-based breast reconstruction following breast cancer surgery.ResultsLoss of the breast can strongly affect a woman's personal and social life while breast reconstruction reduces the sense of mutilation felt by women after a mastectomy, and provides psychosocial as well as aesthetic benefits. TE/implant-based reconstruction is the most common breast reconstructive strategy, constituting almost 65% of all breast reconstructions in the US. Although numerous studies have been published on various aspects of alloplastic breast reconstructions, most studies are single-center observations. No evidence-based guidelines are available as yet. Conventional TE/implant-based reconstruction can be performed as a two-stage procedure either in the immediate or delayed setting. Moreover, the adjunctive use of acellular dermal matrix further broadened the alloplastic breast reconstruction indication and also enhanced aesthetic outcomes.ConclusionsTE/implant-based reconstruction has proved to be a safe, cost-effective, and reliable technique that can be performed in women with various comorbidities. Short operative time, fast recovery, and absence of donor site morbidity are other advantages over autologous breast reconstruction.
