Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two surgical techniques (Wise pattern vs. modified vertical technique) for post-mastectomy reconstruction in patients with severe breast ptosis.
- It highlights that while both methods had similar BMI among patients, the Wise pattern showed a higher incidence of complications, such as seroma and skin necrosis.
- The findings suggest that the vertical pattern might be a safer and simpler option for certain patients, potentially reducing the risk of complications.

Background: Immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) with direct to implant (DTI) is the preferred method of reconstruction by many surgeons and patients, however, acellular dermal matrix (ADM) and other synthetic meshes are expensive especially in low- and middle-income countries. AIM OF THE WORK: To evaluate the technique, indications, aesthetic outcomes, and short and long-term complications of DTI breast reconstruction performed with Ultrapro®, a low-cost alternative mesh to ADM and other synthetic meshes.
Methods: Our study is a prospective cohort study that was conducted on 133 patients who experienced IBR following nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) or skin sparing mastectomy (SSM) using silicone implants and Ultrapro® mesh between December 2020 and December 2023.
