The outcome of the patient who was applied tissue expansion/implant with endoscopy-assisted LDMF transfer two-stage left breast reconstruction combined with implant augmentation of right side at twelve-month follow-up. A A 33 years old woman underwent modified radical mastectomy for left breast cancer, then she received radiation therapy. The frontal and oblique pictures of the affected side were presented. B The patient received right nipple-sparing mastectomy because of fibroadenomatoid adenosis, followed by right breast augmentation with an implant, in the meanwhile, she was applied a tissue expander insertion on the first stage of left breast reconstruction. When the tissue expansion was finished, the patient underwent implant insertion with endoscopy-assisted LDMF transfer on the second stage of left breast reconstruction. The frontal, lateral and oblique pictures of the reconstructed breast were obtained at twelve-month follow-up. The 3D image indicated the two breasts achieved good volume symmetry. The back view showed the additional incision could be concealed when wearing pants. LDMF latissimus dorsi muscle flap
