Abstract:
Chest wall perforator flaps (CWPFs) have been a well-recognised surgical option for volume replacement following breast conservation surgery (BCS). However, the flap volume can sometimes be limited, which may adversely affect the aesthetic outcome or even disqualify the patient from having BCS. We report the first case of hybrid partial breast reconstruction using immediate autologous fat injection into CWPF.
