Abstract
- Burn scar construction is one of the factors that affect the patient physically and functionally. In particular, since breast burn scars greatly affect the appearance of the breast aesthetically, reconstruction can solve this problem. Therefore, we present an example of reconstruction of burns using DIEP flaps. The asymmetry of NAC (nipple areolar complex) and sagging of the shape of the breast were resolved along with the resolution of burn scar construction.
