'Imbricated dermal flap': a novel technique for autologous augmentation in immediate breast reconstruction after skin-sparing mastectomy

This case demonstrates use of a de-epithelialised inferior pole skin flap for a more aesthetic result in immediate autologous breast reconstruction. For women with medium to large ptotic breasts, utilising the excess tissue following skin-sparing mastectomy as an auto-prosthesis, adds volume to the breast and improves inferior pole aesthetics. This 'imbricated dermal flap' offers an excellent addendum to aesthetic breast reconstruction.
