ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of breast implant on congenital mammary dysplasia with mild pigeon chest deformity. Methods From January 2003 to July 2009,10 cases of female mammary dysplasia (between 20 to 31 years of age) underwent breast implant surgery. Subpectoral placement and transaxillary incision were selected. The surgeon marked the range of the operation on the skin, made a 3-4 cm incision in the armpit, separated the tissue until the pectoral lateral margin, cut the pecto-ralis fascia and bluntly created a suitable pocket under the pectoralis major for the implant. After the implant was placed in the pocket, the incision was closed. Results Ten cases of breast implant surgery did not pose the complications of local skin necrosis, infection, implant shift, heart and lungs dysfunction after one year follow-up. The appearance of anterior chest wall deformity was markedly improved. Conclusions The application of breast implant surgery in the treatment of congenital mammary dysplasia with mild pigeon chest deformity should be promoted, because of the double surgical effect of easy performing, minimal surgical damage, perfect breast shape and concealed deformity.
