Release and Reconstruction of a Postburn Deformed Breast in a Young Woman

چکیده
Burn injuries to the anterior chest wall in the young woman may cause disfiguration or lack of development of the breasts during puberty. Often the patients are referred after puberty with an apparent lack of breast development due to firm postburn scar tissue constricting the anterior chest wall. We report a case where a young female with a postburn disfiguration and apparent diminished breast development was reconstructed successfully with incision only through the restricting burn scar, a periareolar skin excision and split-thickness skin grafting of the subsequent outburst of constricted breast tissue.
