The outcome of tissue expansion/implant with endoscopy-assisted LDMF transfer two-stage breast reconstruction at thirteen-month follow-up. A A 33 years old woman received left modified radical mastectomy because of breast cancer. The frontal and oblique pictures of the affected side were presented. B The patient underwent implant insertion with endoscopy-assisted LDMF transfer on the second stage of left breast reconstruction following tissue expansion on the first stage. The frontal, lateral and oblique pictures of the reconstructed breast were obtained at thirteen-month follow-up. The 3D image indicated the two breasts achieved good volume symmetry. The back view showed the scar of the lumbar incision was not obvious. LDMF latissimus dorsi muscle flap
