I think a pectoral implant may be a very useful solution in this case.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
The options in improving the appearance in Poland's Syndrome where the bottom half of the muscle is missing can include a custom shaped pectoral implant, fat grafting or both. The choice of which method would work best will depend on his exam. Pictures certainly would help.

Implants placed in a subcutaneous plane only have a high rate of a shrink wrap effect around the implants making it very visable. Strattice, and sometimes fat, allow for better cover, transition and results.
