Breast Reduction in the Burned Breast.

Mammary hypertrophy can occur in the postburn breast. Patients with burned breasts exhibit the same symptoms of symptomatic macromastia as patients with unburned breasts. The extent of the deformity, the location of the deformity, and the status of the surrounding soft tissue are all assessed before embarking on any surgical plan, which then proceeds in a conservative stepwise fashion.
