Implication

Retrospective review assesses outcomes in breast reconstruction techniques for patients with ptotic breasts, suggesting benefits of prepectoral approaches.

Key Points

Complication rates were similar among prepectoral Passot, subpectoral Passot, and tissue expander groups, indicating effectiveness across methods.
Patients undergoing prepectoral Passot-type reconstruction had higher body mass indices and received more radiation therapy than other groups.
Significant cost reduction associated with Passot-type reconstruction was found, making it a competitive alternative to tissue expander approaches.
Retention of prepectoral techniques may limit potential complications compared to traditional subpectoral methods over a 5-year review period.
