| Description | Congenital breast malformations such as a major hypoplasia or even breast aplasia and considerable breast shape deformities can have a negative impact on women's personal or social life during adolescent age. Surgical correction may help these patients to increase their self-esteem and to build normal relationships. Autologous breast reconstruction using tissue transfers, known as flaps, is associated with scars and possible donor site morbidity. Main disadvantages of breast reconstruction with implants are limited options for breast-shaping and difficult relocation of atypically placed areola. The need for replacement of breast implants later in patient's life represents another disadvantage. Breast lipomodelling is miniinvasive surgical technique of fat tissue transfer by lipoinjections, which is used to form volume of the breast in several sessions, having natural consistence and reaching a high degree of symmetry. Due to gradual formation of the breast, it is possible to start correction of malformation in early adolescence, and to prevent negative effect of malformation on mental and social development of a young person. The aim of this paper, based on literature review and our clinic experiences, is to present the use of lipomodelling technique in breast reconstruction in cases of Poland's syndrome and tuberous breast deformity. |
