Prepectoral Versus Subpectoral Breast Reconstruction in High-Body Mass Index Patients.

Background: The effect of body mass index (BMI) on complication rates in prepectoral implant-based breast reconstruction is not well established. The purpose of this study was to compare complication rates between different BMI groups in subpectoral and prepectoral reconstruction.

Methods: A single-surgeon, 4-year, retrospective review was performed of consecutive prosthetic breast reconstructions.
