Poland's syndrome is a condition that can affect the development of the chest, breast, and upper extremity. It is present at birth but often goes undiagnosed until later in life since the severity of the effects varies from person to person.

How we can help:
Women with Poland's usually have underdevelopment of the breast on the affected side. This may range from a breast that is simply smaller than the other to complete absence of the breast and its associated nipple/areola. The large chest muscle (pectoralis) is also impacted and may be completely absent in some cases. deformities of the ribs and skeletal chest wall may also be present. These developmental shortcomings can be compared to a "congenital radical mastectomy" in the most severe cases.

Breast reconstruction is a commonly sought solution for the breast impacted by Poland's syndrome. Until reconstruction surgery, young ladies are offered a prosthesis to wear to help give natural shape and look at this sensitive stage of teenage life.

Points to consider:

• A well fitted bra is important to secure the breast form
• Fashion styles and colours ( to conform with her school friends)
• Slighty padded cups ( to give a smooth look when having one nipple)
