Why are all of the photos I've seen of mastectomy scars across the upper part of the breast? and why can't they be lower and curved like the contour of a natural breast?
A mastectomy requires removing the nipple and the surrounding skin. This frequently results in a high transverse scar on the breast mound. However, if you have excess breast skin that is above the nipple and not involved with the cancer, this can be pulled down. The final result can be a scar in the hidden inframammary fold. Scar placement is determined by the location of the cancer, the amount of skin that you have in your breasts can be preserved and the skin of the general surgeon and plastic surgeon.
Best of Luck,

Should I try alloderm again or do I have any other options for projection. This is very important to me. I had left mastectomy with muscle sparing tram reconstruction. Is the Cook cylinder an option?
In my personal experience, nipple reconstruction using harvested skin from you gives the best results. FYI, this would give you a visible 'patch' from where the skin is taken from. Best wishes, Dr. H
