Breast augmentation in the case of chest wall deformity can be challenging. It is essential to treat the two problematics separately, and not to attempt compensation for asymmetry with vastly different breast implants. With this work, we wish to highlight the approach based on the use of custom-made 3D implants, enabling optimal correction of thoracic deformity. A first case study illustrates a one-step approach to correcting deformity and augmenting the breast. The importance of separate management of these issues lies in the fact that possible normalization of thoracic dysmorphia alone can sometimes lead to withdrawal of the request for breast augmentation. We illustrate this with a second case report with optimal patient satisfaction after isolated correction of a pectus excavatum.Level of Evidence V This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
