The authors review their experience on 25 patients subjected to bilateral subcutaneous mastectomy and 16 patients subjected to bilateral simple mastectomy with immediate submuscular insertion of prosthesis for high risk benign breast lesions. The best aesthetic results were observed with subcutaneous mastectomy (and immediate reconstruction by prosthesis) in patients with small-middle non ptotic breasts. In addition, the authors believe that high risk lesions in large breast are better treated with simple mastectomy and immediate reconstruction by tissue expander.
