Poland syndrome is a non inherited congenital birth defect characterized by the absence of part of or the entire pectoral muscle (usually right) along with webbed fingers or short limbs . Short ribs, less fat, and breast and nipple abnormalities may also occur on the effected side.. Persons affected have a normal life. Males are more commonly affected. The defect might not noticeable but at times the cosmetic deformity might be unsightly. At Redefine Cosmetic Surgery Studio we have come up with a solution of using pectoral implants to correct this deformity Using these specialised firm solid carvable silicone implants we can replicate the opposite chest with nearly a 70% match with 100% satisfaction. Inscision is located in the axilla and is small. Over night stay in the hospital is all that is needed and the patient can return to work in 72 hours. I have operated 8 patients over the past 3 years with only one complication of a small haematoma which was treated in the out patient department. Large inscision and increase post surgical morbidity is avoided using this method compared to local muscle flap transfer.
