Summary

Summary. We present a patient who was operated due to bilateral breast carcinoma with immediate bilateral breast recon- struction with silicone implants after skin sparing mastectomy in a neighbouring country to Croatia. One year following the operation a severe bilateral capsular contracture was manifested. Due to a large umbilical hernia and lower laparotomy scar it was not possible to reconstruct the breasts with any abdominal free or pedicled flap. We performed bilateral secondary breast reconstruction with latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap and silicone implants in two stages with good postoperative result
