Plastic Surgeon Explains the Hidden Risks of Under-the-Muscle Breast Reconstruction

Описание: Plastic surgeon Elisabeth Potter, MD, is a board-certified breast reconstruction microsurgeon and DIEP Flap specialist based in Austin, Texas. She is dedicated to helping patients understand their options and to expanding access to safe, patient-centered breast reconstruction.

In this video, I sit down with my patient ‪@PaigePrevivor‬ to talk about one of the biggest choices in implant-based reconstruction: under the muscle (UTM) vs over the muscle (OTM).

I explain:
-What happens to the pec and sometimes serratus muscles when implants are placed under the muscle
-How these surgical choices can affect recovery, strength, and long-term comfort
-The questions I believe every patient should ask before deciding what’s right for them

Every body is different, and every decision is personal.
