BACKGROUND Unilateral breast reconstruction can be a challenge when attempting to achieve an aesthetically pleasing and symmetrical breast mound on the contralateral side. This study investigates the outcomes of using a contralateral augmentation transmidline scarless (CATS) technique to simultaneously augment the contralateral breast using implants. METHODS Between January 2004 and July 2016...

[1], no statistical significance was noted in the mean tumor size, stage, nodal status of breast cancer between augmented patient group and non-augmented patients. Since the rate of breast cancer is radically increasing, and breast augmentation surgery is performed actively o...
