ABSTRACT
Preoperative Planning The final expander volume following inflation should correspond to approximately 90% of the potential expander volume. In circumstances where the desired volume of the contralateral breast is subsequently amended, this relationship will be modified and where contralateral size is overestimated, this percentage will be lower. Ideally, final volume adjustment should only be carried out following any contralateral surgery, and the definitive size of the reconstructed breast can be determined intraoperatively.
