Hidden scar breast reconstruction: no muscle cutting needed

This study tested a new surgical method for women at high genetic risk of breast cancer who choose to have both breasts removed preventively and reconstructed immediately. Instead of the usual chest muscle dissection and visible breast scar, surgeons used a single-port endoscope through a small incision in the armpit to place the implant under the skin. The goal was to avoid muscle damage and hide the scar away from the breast. The study enrolled 20 women to see if the technique could be done safely without complications like skin death or infection.
