Abstract

The association of Becker's nevus with other cutaneous, musculoskeletal or maxillofacial anomalies is called Becker nevus syndrome. Ipsilateral breast hypoplasia is the main reason for female patients to seek medical advice. We present two clinical cases of Becker nevus syndrome with thoracic nevus and ipsilateral breast hypoplasia treated with lipofilling alone (fat grafting). For the two consecutive cases of Becker nevus syndrome treated by fat grafts, we present the surgical technique and the outcome at one year follow-up. Fat was harvested with cannula after infiltration. The adipose tissue was prepared with a short centrifugation. Fat grafting was realized as backward injections. We have noticed a concomitant improvement of the thoracic nevus color with a stable result after one-year follow-up. The aesthetic result after lipofilling was evaluated as very satisfying by the patient. The breast symmetry was improved. We believe that the lipofilling technique is a natural and valuable treatment option for thoracic anomalies in Becker nevus syndrome with a major impact on patient's quality of life.
