Abstract

The tuberous breast deformity as a malformation of the mammary glands describes a morbidity that is difficult to treat and characterized by incomplete breast development.
Up to now, volume gain has mostly been achieved by breast implants or autologous lipotransfer.
We hereby describe a two-step approach using a free micro-vascular profunda artery perforator flap and late breast reduction for reconstruction of a tuberous breast in an 18-year-old patient.
