Summary

The investigators hypothesize that nipple-areola skin sparing mastectomy (NASSM) performed through an inframammary incision has a superior blood supply relative to a lateral oblique incision. Moreover, by minimizing complications and optimizing aesthetic outcomes, the investigators believe it will be associated with significantly higher patient reported outcome scores. The addition of information gained by use of intraoperative laser-assisted fluorescent angiography (measured with the Spy Elite imaging device) will reduce complication rates by directing intraoperative resection of ischemic tissue and limiting the volume of immediate implant placement in instances where real time imaging would suggest compromised perfusion. These quantifiable, objective measures will justify the use of NASSM and immediate implant placement coupled with intraoperative laser-assisted fluorescent angiography in prosthetic based breast reconstruction despite longer operative times.
