INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The goal of this study is to develop clinical decision-support algorithms for designing participants-specific breast molds for tissue shaping. Autologous breast reconstruction is an important part of breast cancer rehabilitation for many participants. Our goal is to increase the efficiency of autologous breast reconstruction by helping the surgeon design participants-specific molds for shaping tissue into an acceptable breast form.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- Patients 18 years of age or older
- Patients who are willing and able to provide informed consent

Exclusion Criteria3
- Patients whose surgical plan includes the use of stacked flaps (DIEP + other free flap, usually from the thigh or buttock)
- Patients whose surgical plan includes the use of DIEP flap with vascularized lymph node transfer
- Patients undergoing neoadjuvant radiation
