Breast amputation correction of a horse bite using the lipomodeling technique.

Abstract

Mammary gland development is an important phase of puberty, and it marks the passage into adulthood for women, so any trauma leading to mammary deformities has an important physical and psychological impact. Often, classic techniques are difficult to use in the treatment of traumatic breast lesions. In this article, the authors present an exceptional case of breast reshaping by lipomodeling in a teenage patient who had experienced a horse bite. Treatment included 2 fat grafting sessions with fasciotomies, nipple reconstruction using a bifoliated flap, and areolar tattooing, all without any complications. We achieved a satisfactory result with a symmetric volume, a natural tissue consistency, and sensation improvement, all of which were maintained as the patient grew. In our experience, fat transfer was a safe and reliable technique that provided a good and stable aesthetic result, improving the volume and shape without additional scarring or implant devices. 5.
