Prepectoral, immediate, direct to implant surgery

Hello,

Has anyone had this type of mastectomy and immediate above the muscle reconstruction?

I live in a small town in North Carolina and I am finding it hard to find a surgeon/patients who have had experience with this procedure.

Thank you very much.

In 2010 I had that type of surgery with immediate implant. I was very happy with the procedure as well as the results. I had no problems nor have I had any problems since then.
