  • A method of breast reconstruction. During the mastectomy procedure a tissue expander is implanted beneath the chest wall muscle. Over a period or weeks or months the volume of the implant is increased, causing the overlying muscle and skin to stretch. Later, the expander is removed and replaced by a permanent breast implant.
