Description
Kelsey Lipman and Dung Nguyen review in 2024 how surgeons can fix uneven results after breast rebuilding following mastectomy. Even results often need a second operation, whether the rebuild uses implants or the patient's own tissue, and the choice is harder when the breast has had radiation. The review gathers case examples of common hard cases.
The authors searched three large databases and kept forty-one papers that fit their rules, out of six hundred fifty found at first. From that work they built a step-by-step guide to help surgeons and patients pick a fix. Readers get a clear map of the options and the trade-offs each one brings.
