Abstract
Despite significant advancements in early breast cancer detection, mastectomy remains a crucial treatment option for some patients. Immediate breast reconstruction post-mastectomy has emerged as an ideal procedure to minimize physical and psychosocial patient impacts, striving for improved cosmetic results. The "enhanced "Goldilocks mastectomy technique, characterized by nipple preservation or grafting and utilizing the fifth perforator anatomy, offers a sound approach to reconstruction in comorbid and large-breasted patients. This paper discusses the advantages, disadvantages, and real-world application of Goldilocks mastectomy in enhancing breast reconstruction outcomes and meeting patients' diverse needs.
