Abstract
Matrices are used with increased frequency to assist with tissue expander or implant-based breast reconstruction. These devices usually have a high cost, especially when they are human-derived. We present the use of fascia lata for implant and expander-based subpectoral reconstruction. According to our review of the literature, this is the first report of the use of a patient's own fascia lata instead of a matrix.
