[Symmetry, ptosis and a new infra-mammary border in the reconstruction of the breast with a tissue expander].
The aim of this procedure is to obtain a permanent prosthesis (after mastectomy and the insertion of a tissue expander) that is similar to the contralateral breast in volume, morphology and inframammary border. The technique involves aspiration of the tissue expander fluid until the desired volume is obtained and the measurement of the fluid which indicates the volume of the prosthesis to be inserted. Given the satisfactory results obtained, the intention is to continue adopting this procedure.
