Weight analysis of mastectomy specimens and abdominal flaps used for breast reconstruction in Koreans.

CONCLUSIONS: Breast weight had a strong positive relationship with abdominal flap weight in Koreans. Abdominal flaps provided sufficient soft tissue for breast reconstruction in most Korean patients, including nulliparous patients. However, when the mastectomy weight is estimated to be >700 g, a contralateral reduction procedure may be considered. PMID: 29788689 [PubMed]
