Symmetrization in therapeutic mammoplasty for breast cancer: si non nunc quandro

1

Therapeutic mammoplasty combines breast cancer excision with reshaping, leading to potential asymmetry requiring contralateral surgical intervention.
2

Immediate symmetrization during therapeutic mammoplasty is safe and associated with lower complication rates compared to delayed procedures.
3

Delayed symmetrization can negatively impact quality of life, with many women feeling self-conscious about asymmetry post-surgery.
4

A dual-consultant approach for immediate symmetrization has shown significant cost savings and high patient acceptance rates.
5

More prospective data on outcomes and patient experiences are needed to guide decision-making on symmetrization timing.
