Abstract
Having learned that healed mastectomy wounds will stretch sufficiently to accommodate an implanted prosthesis, we must pay more attention to the position, and shape of the breast mound created by the prosthesis. We have briefly discussed our methods and the considerations we feel are important in this regard, but, even after extensive experience, we confess that the problems are still with us. Clearly, surgical methods and prostheses must improve.Keywords
