Background The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic prompted an unprecedented contraction in surgical volume. This utilizes the American College of Surgeons' National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database to assess the impact of COVID-19 on breast reconstruction surgery volume and quality throughout 2020. Methods The NSQIP database was utilized to gather data from 2015 to 2020. We provide descriptive statistics in the form of mean (standard deviation), median (interquartile range), and range for continuous variables and counts (%) for categorical variables. A Kruskal–Wallis test was used to compare average age and a chi-squared test was used to compare other demographic categorical variables from 2019 to 2020. Results Breast reconstruction procedures decreased by 27% in Q2 2020 compared to Q2 of 2019. Immediate tissue-expander-based reconstruction was the only type of reconstruction that increased in comparison to Q2 2019 values (53.5 vs. 41.1%, p
