This patient, diagnosed with left breast invasive ductal carcinoma at age 42, underwent bilateral nipple-sparing mastectomies with tissue expander placement. She later underwent bilateral PAP (profunda artery perforator) flap reconstruction. She opted for a revision surgery which included placement of implants behind PAP flaps for increased breast volume.
This 43 year old patient was diagnosed with left breast invasive ductal carcinoma. She underwent a left nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate DIEP flap breast reconstruction, and later underwent one small revision surgery.
This 46 year old patient has a history of left breast cancer and prior lumpectomy. She later underwent a left nipple sparing completion mastectomy and immediate DIEP flap reconstruction. She had a right breast reduction mastopexy for symmetry.
