Abstract
Juvenile breast hypertrophy in a 12-year-old girl was treated by bilateral reduction mammoplasty (amputation type) with free transplantation of the areolae and nipples and removal of 8,200 g of breast tissue. Eleven months later, subcutaneous mastectomy with subpectoral tissue expander insertion was performed due to recurrent enlargement of the breasts, with removal of an additional 5,000 g. Three months later, silicone prostheses replaced the tissue expander, with reconstruction of areolae and nipples. One year later, a good result was observed and the breasts have been satisfactorily reconstructed.Entities:
