Appearance
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]
