“…Postmastectomy reconstruction is typically performed using implant-based techniques [1,5,10,11]. Although the majority of patients have a completely uneventful postoperative course, unfortunately, some patients experience complications [12], one of the most common of which is seroma development [12]. To enhance the outcomes of implant-based breast reconstruction, ADM—a durable, nonimmunogenic, and elastic material) derived from human or porcine skin tissue—was introduced to reinforce the pocket for the implant; however, a disadvantage of ADM is that it is associated with a higher rate of seroma formation [3].…”

The Goldilocks technique: An alternative method to construct a breast mound after prosthetic breast reconstruction failure

The Goldilocks technique for breast reconstruction utilizes redundant mastectomy flap tissue to construct a breast mound. This technique is suitable for women who decline, or are poor candidates for, traditional postmastectomy reconstruction. Moreover, this technique can be applied in secondary operations after the failure of initial reconstruction efforts. A 74-year-old patient underwent the Goldilocks procedure after reconstruction failure with an implant and acellular dermal matrix. At her 6-month follow-up, the cosmetic outcome of the procedure was satisfactory, and no complications were noted. Therefore, the Goldilocks procedure is a safe alternative to reconstruct breast mounds following reconstruction failure, especially in obese patients.
