Abstract
Burns of the front of the chest and abdomen mostly done in domestic accidents and are very common in Egypt.
Long term follow up is important to ensure proper development and aesthetic appearance of the breasts during and after puberty.
Reconstruction of the postburn breast is based on observational data ; the ideal time to reconstruct the burned breast is once breast maturity is attained. In severe cases, however, staged procedures throughout puberty may be required to optimize the aesthetic result.
Reconstruction of the postburn breast can done by skin graft, local flaps like Z plasty- V Y Z plasty and others, reduction mammoplasty, latissmus dorsi flap or TRAM flap, pedicled perforators flaps, free flaps from abdomen-gluteal region and others, tissue expansion alone or implant insertion alone or both, inframammary fold reconstruction by different techniques and nipple areola reconstruction by different methods.
The normal breast may need reduction or mastopexy or augmentation according to the reconstructed breast to achieve symmetry between two breasts.
