Breast Mesh Used in Two-staged Breast Reconstruction

Purpose

This is the first prospective randomized and controlled study on the efficacy and safety of TiLOOP® Bra mesh in patients with expander-implant breast reconstruction. The investigators hypothesize that incoporating TiLOOP Bra mesh with tissue expanders will reduce the rates of capsular contraction, improve the efficiency of expansion and provide better aesthetic result.

Arm Groups

ArmDescriptionAssigned Intervention
Experimental
Breast Reconstruction with breast mesh 		The tissue expander-implant reconstruction with TiLoop Bra mesh.
  • Procedure: TiLoop Bra mesh in expander-implant breast reconstrution
    The tissue expander is inserted with TiLoop Bra mesh in the first stage of reconstruction immediately after nipple/skin-sparing mastectomy. The tissue expander is placed sub-pectoral.
Active Comparator
Breast Reconstruction without breast mesh 		The tissue expander-implant reconstruction without TiLoop Bra mesh. The tissue expander is placed sub-pectoral and covered by muscle/fascia.
  • Procedure: sub-pectoral expander-implant breast reconstruction
    The tissue expander is inserted without TiLoop Bra mesh in the first stage of reconstruction immediately after nipple/skin-sparing mastectomy. The tissue expander is placed sub-pectoral and covered by muscle/fascia.
