The pectoralis major muscle is released from its inferior attachment using electrocautery. An acellular dermal matrix or mesh is used to recreate the inferior and lateral boundaries for the implant, and to create a complete pocket around the implant with the pectoralis muscle. A sizer is placed into the pocket to assess pocket dimensions and volume for the implant.
