Abstract

Thermal anterior chest-wall burns including the breasts causes absent, hypoplastic or flattened breast deformities. There are many methods for secondary reconstruction of those deformities. In this report we present a mild breast burn contracture case treated with a technique which we have called "V-Y-Z plasty".
