RESUMO

We report the case of a 47-year-old woman with a large keloid scar on the sternum who was submitted to a simultaneous scar removal with bilateral breast-reduction mammaplasty. Breast reduction was performed to reduce local skin tension and to provide a skin flap for the full reconstruction of the scar-removal site. The association of these surgical procedures stands as a viable alternative for the reconstruction of the sternum region, producing less keloid scarring.
