It is occasionally difficult to accurately measure the projection of the unaffected breast in unilateral breast reconstruction and decide the optimal projection of a silicone breast implant (SBI). SBI ready-made sizers are useful for selecting the optimal SBI; however, the cost of procuring multiple types of this ready-made sizers is high. Therefore, we aimed to develop a novel technique for selecting SBIs using simplified cotton sizers, intraoperatively.
