Custom-made approach to a patient with post-burn breast deformity

Abstract: Second and third degree burns on breasts at preadolescent period may cause severe breast deformations. This deformation can be variable depending on severity and location of the burns, personal adolescent patterns, and treatment modality in acute burn period. A 21 year old female patient admitted to our department for her breast deformation due to burn contracture at the inferior pole of the right breast. On physical examination we defined that development of the volume of the right breast was equal to the lef… Show more

“…Various operative techniques have been used to address postburn breast deformities, including tissue expansion and silicone implants, as well as using skin grafts, artificial dermal substitutes, or local muscle flaps in combination with symmetrizing techniques such as mastopexy or reduction mammoplasty 4 5 6 7 8 . Free-tissue reconstruction has been suggested as an alternative technique, but to our knowledge, there are no experiential reports of larger case series where this technique was used 9 10 .…”

“…Reconstructive techniques are applied in a hierarchy, as per the reconstructive ladder, starting from the simplest procedure like Split Skin Grafts on the first step to compound tissue transfer by Micro vascular surgery at the other extreme. [5,6] Patients suffering from physical and psychological pain of burn injury and disfigurement are in need of a special level of caring. These patients not only require technical expertise but also a great deal of surgeon's time, understanding and compassion.…”
