Abstract:BackgroundThis study aims to explore the ideal breast size by assessing the relationship between mastectomy to free flap weight ratio and complications as well as patient‐reported outcomes in autologous breast reconstruction (ABR).MethodA retrospective review of patients undergoing bilateral immediate ABR with mastectomy and flap weights available was completed. Patients were divided into three groups based on the ratio of mastectomy to flap weights. The patients were grouped as “maintained” if the flap weight… Show more
