title: Two new free flaps developed from aesthetic surgery I. The lateral mammary flap.
abstract: A new donor site for free skin flap transfer from the breast is described. The vascular anatomy and the operative technique for raising the flap is detailed. The clinical application is illustrated by 3 case reports including 4 flap transfers. The use of the lateral mammary flap is indicated in largebreasted women when a reduction mammaplasty is required at the level of the donor site and can be combined with the microsurgical flap transfer.
