Comparing immediate vs delayed breast implant reconstruction results
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares two timing options for rebuilding the breast with implants, looking at cosmetic results, quality of life, and patient satisfaction. It may help you understand which approach could fit you better and what to expect over follow-up time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under age 65 and have early-stage breast cancer (stage 0 to III).
- Your plan includes a skin-sparing, nipple-sparing, or areola-sparing mastectomy.
- Your surgery plan includes breast reconstruction with an implant on the same side, and matching/re-shaping on the other side (for symmetry).
- You must be able and willing to participate in follow-up visits and assessments.
- You have not had breast surgery for prior reasons (like cosmetic tightening/raising) and you have not had radiation to the breast or underarm area.
- You do not have certain health issues (including autoimmune disease) or major past complications that affect healing or skin quality.

This trial compares two types of mastectomy (with skin and nipple options) and implant reconstruction to see which gives better cosmetic results, comfort, and satisfaction. You may help doctors learn which approach leads to a better quality of life after surgery.
This study compares two breast reconstruction techniques after a mastectomy to see which one gives better results. Participating may help you rebuild your breast shape in a way that feels more natural to you.
This study compares two common ways of rebuilding the breast with implants after mastectomy for breast cancer. It looks at surgical outcomes to help women and doctors choose the best approach.
This study looks at women who had a delayed breast reconstruction using a small camera (endoscope) and an implant, at least 6 months after their mastectomy. It aims to see how safe and effective this procedure is.
This study compares two ways to remove the breast tissue while keeping the nipple and skin: a conventional (open) surgery versus a endoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery, both followed by immediate implant reconstruction. The goal is to see which approach leads to better feeling (sensory recovery) in the breast after surgery.
This study looks at how women feel after having a robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction. It focuses on their well-being and satisfaction after surgery.
