Correction of Poland's syndrome in a male with solid chest wall implants

In the past, breast implantation for men was limited to transsexuals. Recen tly, more men have requested an adequate chest wall symmetry and an increas e of chest size, particularly in the area of the pectoralis major muscle. T his has lead to the development of pectoralis implants. This paper describe s the surgical technique and possible complications of the correction of th e chest wall deformity in Poland's syndrome with solid silicone implants. T hese implants can either be custom made, using a moulage technique, or can be obtained as pre-fabricated, manufactured implants, which can be modified on the operating table. This method, with the appropriate indications, giv es good predictable long term results.
