The Batwing Mastopexy in Immediate Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction: An Aesthetic Enhancement for Patients with Cancer

Conclusions: The authors demonstrate that simultaneous batwing mastopexy can be performed safely at the time of immediate breast reconstruction. This technique provides comparable complication rates, improves aesthetic outcomes in patients with significant ptosis or macromastia, and allows nipple-sparing mastectomy to be an option for those who would otherwise be excluded. CLINICAL QUESTION/LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Therapeutic, III.
