One of the challenges of implant breast reconstruction post-subcutaneous mastectomy is coverage of the inferior pole of the implant to provide a barrier between the implant and skin. Numerous biological and synthetic meshes are available on the market for this purpose; however, they are often very costly and carry all the risks of using a foreign body. In patients with large ptotic breast, the skin of the inferior mastectomy flap can be used instead. A number of techniques and variations have been developed over the last 40 years driven by the increasing cost of healthcare and acceptance of breast reconstruction as vital part of breast cancer care and survivorship.
