RESUMEN
A new technique of immediate breast reconstruction is presented. This technique uses a silicone implant placed in a subpectoral pocket, using de-epithelialised skin from the lower breast to augment the submuscular pocket, thus producing a compound myodermal flap. The technique is simple, and the resulting scar is cosmetically satisfactory; when combined with reduction mammoplasty on the opposite breast, this technique produces satisfactory breast symmetry.
