Abstract :
To achieve a good result with tissue expansion for unilateral breast reconstruction, it is of the outmost importance to select an expander, the size of which will allow to obtain a semicircumference and the projection of the contralateral breast objective. This is quantitative data useful to aid in proper expander selection when performing tissue expansion for unilateral breast reconstruction.
