What is prepectoral breast reconstruction?

Prepectoral breast reconstruction involves placing breast implants directly underneath the skin, but above the muscle. This method of reconstruction can have many advantages over the traditional approach with a tissue expander, including improved comfort and body image, and an expedited recovery.

What are the benefits of prepectoral breast reconstruction?

  • Avoids discomfort associated with stretching of the muscles
  • Reduced muscle fatigue
  • Lower risk of implant animation or distortion
  • Lower risk of postoperative discomfort and soreness
  • Improved look and feel of the implant
  • Expedited recovery
  • Natural-looking outcome
  • Long-lasting, sustainable results

How can I determine my candidacy for prepectoral breast reconstruction?

This procedure can be very helpful to those who have already undergone traditional subpectoral breast reconstruction but are unhappy with their results and experiencing issues with their implants, such as capsular contracture, tightness, or animation deformity.

Dr. Lee will assess each patient's candidacy for the procedure during their private consultation in Beverly Hills, and she will provide you with detailed information about all of your treatment options.

How can a prepectoral breast implant placement help with animation deformity?

Animation deformity occurs when the implants appear to be moving while the patient flexes the chest, typically during weightlifting or exercise. This can be corrected by repositioning the implants in a prepectoral position.
