Poland syndrome is a rare disease that affects one in 30,000 births in France. This malformation affects more little boys than girls. Among the characteristics of the disease, there is a total or partial absence of the pectoralis major muscle, the muscle that is located at the level of the chest, as well as breast hypotrophy. On the upper limbs, abnormalities of the phalanges and fingers may be associated. The absence of the pectoralis major muscle in young women results in breasts without volume and projection. In most cases, the breast deformity affects only one breast.

The procedure to correct Poland syndrome

The operation consists of correcting the lack of breast volume with a breast prosthesis or a muscle flap. The axillary notch can be improved by fat injections (lipofilling).
Cosmetic surgery

All parts of the body, or at least most of it, can now undergo cosmetic procedures to enhance their appearance. The breasts are a large part of the requests.

Breast plastic surgery

Depending on the morphology and physical compatibility, the use of pectoral implants or prostheses allows to put forward a sculpted body. It is the plastic surgeon’s intervention that will set the rules.

Breast reconstruction

Today, surgical correction remains a recourse to regain a dream chest. In addition to the classic breast lift, it is now also possible to treat umbilical or inverted nipples.
