It may not be appropriate for every woman, but immediate breast implant placement may provide very good aesthetic results with a complication rate that is low.
Immediate implant placement can help lessen psychological distress as well, and reduce the need for multiple surgical procedures and their associated costs.
A study in the April issue of “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” suggests that results of immediate implant based breast reconstruction in thirty-five women with breast cancer had good results when silicone-gel implant placement was performed immediately after mastectomy.
The average age of the women was forty-five and most underwent double mastectomy with reconstruction immediately after the procedure.
