Background: The continuous increase in the rate of nipple sparing mastectomy (NSM), the development of several reconstructive techniques and the following introduction of acellular derma matrix (ADM) has revolutionized implant-based breast reconstruction. This study aimed to investigate postoperative complications, health-related QoL and patient’s satisfaction in patients undergoing NSM and breast reconstruction with or without ADM Methods: Enrolled patients were divided into three groups: immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) with de�nitive breast implant and ADM (Group A), IBR only with de�nitive breast implant (Group B), and two-stage breast reconstruction (Group C). The postoperative complications and BREAST-Q outcomes were compared. Results: A total of 105 BC patients were enrolled and a total of 139 post-mastectomy breast reconstructions were performed. Seroma was the most prevalent complication observed: 8% in Group A, 3% in Group B and 6% in Group C. Postoperative infection occurred in two patients of Group A (5,5%), one patient of Group B (3%) and one of Group C (3%). Group A patients reported larger drain volume (1125 ± 243.5 cc), longer drain period (13.2 ± 2.8 days), and the lowest incidence of capsular contracture (5.6%). The BREAST-Q patient-reported outcome measures document that all patients aged ≥ 50 years presented a higher score in “Satisfaction with breast” (beta:5.198; p<0.001) and “satisfaction with outcome” domains (beta:5.421; p<0.05). Performing a bilateral breast reconstruction was associated to higher scores in “Physical Wellbeing Chest domain” (beta:3.278; p<0.05). In addition patients in Group A and Group B reported higher score in “Satisfaction with the breast” domain (p<0.001) but only in Group B we reported a higher score in “Satisfaction with outcome” (p<0.001). Conclusion: Subpectoral IBR results in manageable complications and greater personal satisfaction. The ADM could improve breast reconstruction reducing the rate of capsular contracture. The pre pectoral placement of ADM could minimize
