Abstract
This represents a case of a graft of autogenous breast gland from the enlarged side to augment the hypoplastic breast in cases of congenital asymmetry. Long-term consequences of this transfer and the thickness of the transferred gland that could be used remain unknown. It was with the patient's wishes and agreement to close follow-up that we undertook this approach to see if we could find a one-step procedure for correction of asymmetry without the use of either foreign material or flap. Mammogram at 2 years is normal.
