case_images: This mass was elastic in consistency, originating from the lower quadrants, stretching the skin over it without direct affection, and distorting the breast's normal profile (Fig. 1A). She presented after three months of follow-up and was satisfied with the cosmetic outcome (Fig. 1B).

case_images: In June 2023, a rapidly growing large mass without skin affection occupied the upper half of her right breast (Fig. 2A). The batwing pattern was chosen for the skin-sparing design (Fig. 2B), with the insertion of a pre-pectoral implant (285 cm, round, smooth, moderate profile) without using a mesh or ADM. The patient was referred to receive radiotherapy, she then showed up one week after the completion of the radiotherapy sessions with radiation dermatitis, and after 3 months, she was better with accepted cosmesis (Fig. 2C).

case_images: By examination, the breast cup size was B, with grade three ptosis, and the mass occupied most of the right breast (Fig. 3A). Following patient counseling, we planned a right nipple-sparing skin-reducing mastectomy with contralateral symmetrization surgery (Fig. 3B). Subsequent visits revealed a good cosmesis (Fig. 3C) for MRI follow-up, and the final imaging in July 2023 revealed a bilateral normal breast study.
