AB Moderate  sequelae  of  conservative  treatment  of  breast  cancer  are  a  real  challenge  for  the  surgeon.1  No  technique  yet  gave  entirely  satisfactory  results.  The  only  options  offered  to  patients,  such  as  musculocutaneous  latissimus  dorsi  flaps,2,3  were  often  disabling  and  disproportionate  to  the  breast  deformity.1  But  a  few  years  after  treatment  of  their  cancer,  patients  are  very  eager  for  surgical  correction  of  their  deformity  to  erase  or  attenuate  the  visible  signs  of  their  disease.  It  was  therefore  important  to  seek  a  solution  that  would  correct  these  sequelae  and  help  these  patients  to  regain  better  self-esteem  and  to  reintegrate  their  breast  in  their  body  image.
