Immediate Breast Reconstruction in High Risk Cases Using an Anatomical Shaped Permanent Expandable Implant

Anatomically shaped permanent expandable implants are dual-chambered devices, which allow their postoperative expansion for adjustment of the volume. Their use is optional when 1-stage immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) direct to permanent implant is not feasible. The aim of this study is to present one center's long-term experience with the anatomical Becker expandable implant in a large series of patients who underwent either IBR or a salvage procedure for IBR with the device.
