NATURAL SKIN REDUCTION AND BREAST RECOVERY USING A TISSUE EXPANDER AFTER ENUCLEATION OF A GIANT BREAST TUMOUR

Abstract

We report a new use of the tissue expander for reshaping a breast after resection of a giant tumour. After resection of giant fibroadenomas, two patients had expanders inserted into the tissue defect and gradually reduced in size over five months. This facilitated healing and natural skin shrinkage and resulted in a natural shape and size.
