Mammary reconstruction using tissue expander and partial detachment of the pectoralis major muscle

With the technique described in this video a better profile of the breast is achieved. This technique was described by Serra Renom in 2004 (Ann Plast Surg 2004;53(4):317-21). Partial detachment of the pectoral muscle is performed, suturing it to the lower skin flap and thereby avoiding cranial migration of the expander. In addition a rounded shape of the lower quadrants is achieved and the expander remains in a subcutaneous position.
