Resumen
Usually, complicated reconstructions demand complex procedures. However, we report an unpublished situation where lipofilling was the only effective procedure for breast reconstruction, once 4 previous procedures, including 2 microvascular free flaps, had failed. The reported case describes a woman without subcutaneous tissue in the left breast topography, with radiation sequelae resulting in a fibrotic, hyperchromic, unexpandable skin that was tethered to her costal bone and pleura. The 4 previous attempts of breast reconstruction resulted in unavailable nearby recipient vessels, and this situation appointed breast lipofilling as the most feasible procedure. This report shows the power of breast lipofilling, a simple procedure that can be used even for the more complex reconstructions. 4 1
