Goldilocks mastectomy is a type of surgical procedure for breast mound reconstruction using patient's autologous tissue without additional implants after the breast parenchyma has been removed for treatment of disease or prophylaxis. The procedure is an alternative approach to full breast reconstruction after mastectomy for women with breast cancer condition (or predisposed to it).[1][2][3]

Medical use

The Goldilocks mastectomy technique was first described in 2012 by the surgeons Heather Richardson and Grace Ma in the International Journal of Surgery.[1][4]It was first described as a surgical procedure to give women additional option to formal breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The procedure was first applied to some patients who did not qualify for traditional breast reconstruction methods because of medical complications such as history of radiation exposure from prior breast conservation treatment (lumpectomy) or due to the risks associated with high body mass index or because of personal preference.
