Direct-to-Implant Breast Reconstruction | Here's What You Should Know

Board certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Lisa Cassileth is a breast specialist and inventor of One-Stage Direct-to-Implant breast reconstruction procedure. Direct-to-Implant breast reconstruction at Beverly Hills' Cassileth Plastic Surgery allows for the breasts to be reconstructed at the same time as a mastectomy. Dr. Lisa Cassileth developed the one-stage technique, which makes tissue expanders unnecessary and allows women to wake up from their mastectomy surgery with normal-sized breasts. This makes the reconstruction process shorter and more comfortable, and no further surgery is required.

Direct-to-Implant breast reconstruction starts with a mastectomy performed through a very small opening under the crease, rather than the large, across-the-breast incision that used to be the norm. Both the reconstruction and the mastectomy are performed through this incision.

Women undergoing Direct-to-Implant breast reconstruction also have the option to have implants placed under or over their chest muscle. The benefits of positioning the implants over the muscle (prepectoral breast implant placement) during a one-stage procedure include a faster recovery, less movement of the breast when the pectoral muscle moves, and less altering of the normal breast structure. Some women with larger breasts and loose skin may be do better with a subpectoral reconstruction (under the muscle), as the pectoral muscle can help support the implant.
