Tissue expander/implant reconstruction yields good to excellent long-term aesthetic results in the majority of patients, and overall patient satisfaction remains high. Bilateral reconstructions have higher overall aesthetic grades. Reconstruction may be performed in patients with larger-volume breasts with satisfactory cosmesis. Successful outcomes are possible in patients who receive chest wall irradiation.
