Summary

We propose to evaluate the question of whether there is a significant difference between the traditional method of serratus flap tissue expander reconstruction and the acellular matrix method.

Detailed description

We propose a double blinded, randomized study of 60 women comparing outcomes which will include postoperative pain, complication rates and aesthetic outcome as assessed by the patient and a plastic surgeon blinded to the method of reconstruction.
