In Vivo Changes of Breast Perfusion After Augmentation

Overall, medial and lateral blood supply to the NAC are preserved in the augmented patient. Our results suggest a slight delay effect that seems to increase the caliber of the lateral perforators. In addition, the tissue expansion provided by the implants effectively increases the length of both perforators.
