Background:
•Implant-based breast reconstruction (IBR) remains the most common reconstructive approach following mastectomy.
•While subpectoral IBR and prepectoral IBR both offer good results, multiple factors should be considered preoperatively to offer each patient the best tailored implant-based reconstructive approach.
•Identifying risk factors contributing to reconstructive failure will help in patient selection for each of these options.
