Resumen

HIDALGO, Rubén et al. Tuberous breast: autologous tissue reconstruction, without implants. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2023, vol.49, n.4, pp.323-332.  Epub 05-Feb-2024. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s0376-78922023000400003.

Background and objective.

Tuberous breast is a very common malformative entity in young women and a challenge due to its frequency and surgical complexity. We present our transition in the management of tuberous breasts of our public Plastic Surgery Service at the Dr. Balmis General University Hospital in Alicante (Spain), replacing technique with prosthetic material for exclusive technique with autologous tissue.

Methods.

Descriptive, retrospective study, reviewing the last 101 cases performed in our service between November 2010 and June 2022. Data have been collected about the surgical techniques, number of necessary interventions, as well as the rate of shortand long-term complications between the technique with prosthetic material that we routinely performed until 2013 and the technique with autologous tissue that we used subsequently. The technique used to correct the alteration in shape and volume asymmetry of the tuberous breast is described, through using glandular flaps, lipografts and mastopexy techniques.

Results.

In the period described, the use of autologous tissue exclusively has been carried out in 87% of the cases, 81% corresponding to Grolleau grades II and III, with an average of 2.1 surgical times. The most used technique was glandular remodeling associated with lipograft. The rate of complications in the medium and long term is lower compared to the usual technique with prostheses that we previously performed.

Conclusions.

According to our experience, treatment of the tuberous breast through the exclusive use of autologous tissue in selected patients, allows this malforation to be fixed without using prosthetic material, with a lower number of complications compared to reconstruction with prosthetic material.
