Preface

Breast reconstruction has evolved immensely over the past decades. The initial satisfaction of just being able to create a resemblance of a breast mound has evolved into the current possibilities to re-create a virtually normal-appearing and -feeling breast. Advances in management of breast cancer as well as surgical techniques and materials have greatly contributed to these improvements in outcomes. Now, it seems we have come to a crossroads in breast reconstruction. The field has evolved in such an exponential way that the possibilities of performing breast reconstruction are manifold.
