Background: Smooth, round, silicone implants predominate device-based breast reconstruction in the USA; despite their prevalence, complications can include bottoming out, superior contour deformity, rippling, and/or lateral malposition. This complication profile increases the need for revision surgery and subsequent patient dissatisfaction. With the resurgence of shaped, textured, silicone implants in the USA, we report the senior author's success with these devices and outline a strategy to optimize outcomes in breast reconstruction surgery.

This study seeks to describe psychosocial outcomes after breast reconstruction and to identify factors that influence them.
Methods: All patients who underwent immediate postmastectomy reconstruction by the senior author between 2009 and 2011 were offered participation in this study.
Introduction: The number of women who undergo postmastectomy breast reconstruction is reported to be around 40% and, although increased from previous decades, seems lower than expected. The purpose of this report is to investigate and improve our understanding of women's motivations for choosing reconstruction.
Methods: We prospectively surveyed consecutive patients referred for possible reconstructive surgery at Emory University Hospital between December 2008 and September 2010.
