Abstract
Over the years, although methods of breast reconstruction have improved, the ability to build a symmetrical projecting breast has not. When stacked Meme implants were used, better projection was obtained. Folding the transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps allows for good projection; however, the breast is then quite wide and large. For smaller breasted women with projection and some larger breasted women as well, splitting and stacked flaps give a much better result. We now do this procedure with simultaneous Latram and mastectomy surgery in fewer than 3 hours.
