- Correction of Congenital Asymmetry | Dr Josie Todd
Correction of Congenital Asymmetry/ Non-Developed Breast Significant asymmetry or congenital non-developed breasts can be corrected with aesthetic breast surgery. This may require more than one operation depending on the degree of asymmetry compared to the normal breast. This surgery is often designed for younger patients whose normal breasts may also develop and change over time. It may require surgery on the normal side in order to achieve the desired volume and symmetry for both sides.

- Implant Reconstruction | Dr Josie Todd
Implant Reconstruction (Prepectoral vs Subpectoral) Implant reconstruction is a well established technique following mastectomy (for cancer surgery or risk-reduction). The more traditional technique involves placing the implant under the pectoral muscle and using a dissolvable mesh to support the lower 1/3 of the implant. Prepectoral implant reconstruction is a newer technique where the implant is placed in front of the muscle. The main advantages include, less pain, early recovery, no animation and less capsular contracture. The decision for individual technique rest with the operating surgeon and depends on intraoperative patient factors.

- Risk-Reducing Mastectomy with Immediate Reconstruction | Dr Josie Todd
Risk-Reducing Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy with Immediate Reconstruction Some patients have a high-risk for developing breast cancer due to inherited gene mutation (such as, BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, PALB2, TP53, CHEK2, CDH1 mutations) or a significant family history of breast and other cancers. Risk reducing mastectomy (RRM)in these patients can significantly reduce their individual risks to below population risk. The usual age group where RRM is most beneficial is before the age of 50-55 as the age-related risk trends down towards population risk by the age of 60.
