[Breast reconstruction by prosthesis]

Breast reconstruction by prosthesis remains the most used in the world and even tends to increase again at the expense of musculo-cutaneous flaps since the systematic use, in recent years, of adipocytes grafts (lipofilling) before and/or after in place of the implant. This simpler technique is often preferred by patients who want to avoid scars and pain away from the chest area. The use of different implant forms, fat injection, abdominal advancement flaps, biological or synthetic matrices can significantly improve the results of these reconstructions in secondary or immediate. All these techniques are detailed in the following article to show the different devices that allow to achieve this intervention with maximum security.
