Investigators in this study describe a new perspective for female patients that will undergo skin-sparing mastectomy in which there will be an immediate reconstruction of the mastectomized breast for more satisfactory aesthetic results.
This study introduces a new perspective for women who will undergo mastectomy especially Goldilocks mastectomy in which the investigators do fat grafting to the medial and lateral pillars of the breast as well as the inferior dermal flap in order to have a voluminous remaining breast shape that is close enough in size with the contralateral breast for more aesthetic results and to observe the lipografted tissue reaction after radiotherapy

Skin sparing mastectomy (Goldilocks mastectomy), then autologous fat grafting in the medial and lateral breast pillars as well as the inferior dermal flap
Abouqir General Hospital
Alexandria, Egypt
RECRUITINGImmediate breast reconstruction and equalizing the operated breast cup size with the no-operated breast cup size
fat grafting to the Goldilocks mastectomy flaps to have the mastectomized breast cup size to be aesthetically close to the contralateral non-operated breast cup size, also 5 point Likert scale was used to evaluate the patient satisfaction
Time frame: 6 months follow up post-surgical
Evaluate the skin changes and the trophic effect of radiotherapy on the fat grafted tissue
observe and evaluate the skin changes to the skin flaps of the mastectomy side after radiotherapy and evaluate if the fat grafted tissue can resist the trophic effect of radiotherapy
Time frame: through the radiotherapy course and 1 month after
