Case description

This video presents mastectomy with latissimus dorsi flap procedure, which produces a breast with ptosis and projection while maintaining the natural consistency and feel of normal tissue. This flap provides ample bulk for reconstruction due to the large surface of the muscle. In many patients, the flap can be used without the use of an implant, restoring volumes of up to 1.5 L in large patients or with the use of modified techniques
