| Description | Currently, the use of free flaps in breast reconstruction is focused particularly on oncological issues in patients after mastectomy. Free flaps are also being increasingly used in breast reconstruction for a nononcological pathology, particularly in the case of congenital breast abnormality or asymmetry. In a number of clinical cases, the use of microvascular tissue transfer represents an irreplaceable as well as elegant method that has an early cosmetic effect reducing the risk of social death in affected women or girls. Taking into consideration the benefit-risk ratio and the limits in particular patients remains an issue. The case report presents a 15-year-old female patient with congenital hypoplasia of the right breast in whom correction using the DIEP (Deep Inferior Epigastric Perforator) flap was performed. |
