Should we continue to consider obesity a relative contraindication for autologous microsurgical breast reconstruction?
J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg. 2012; (4): 420-5
Obesity is not only a causative factor for premature mortality, it has also been demonstrated to be associated with an increased postoperative complication rate. As such, it has traditionally been considered a relative contraindication to autologous breast reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to assess whether this recommendation is justified.
