Values in parentheses are 95 per cent confidence intervals. Ninety‐one breasts were included in the analyses.

*

None of the patients who had undergone breast surgery previously were reoperated.

All patients who underwent targeted therapy had complications, reoperations and implant removal.

All incisions other than an incision in the inframammary fold (IMF).
