Abstract

Free superior gluteal artery perforator (SGAP) flaps are a reliable option for breast reconstruction in patients with insufficient abdominal tissue or abdominal scarring. Liposuction in a donor site is a relative contraindication for harvesting a free flap, despite current case reports challenging this tenet. We describe a case of a 36-year-old woman who underwent unilateral breast reconstruction with free SGAP flap. She underwent liposuction of the contralateral buttock for symmetry. Approximately, one year post-operatively, she developed local recurrence of the breast cancer. Previously liposculpted buttock was used as donor site for a second free SGAP flap anastomosed to internal mammary artery. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microsurgery, 2012.
