Case #325 Details

Procedures Depicted: Breast Reconstruction

This 57 year old patient has a family history of breast cancer. Dr. Janssen performed bilateral breast reconstruction with tissue expander with Cortiva placement. She had some problems with fluid drainage and open wounds on the left side requiring washouts, but we were able to successfully keep her implant in and converted her from tissue expander to permanent implant. The patient had Mentor smooth round ultra high profile implants, a breast lift, and fat transfer utilizing an abdominal donor site. She opted to do nothing for nipples.
