Poland Syndrome | No Big Deal
We like to share stories of inspiring people who have Poland Syndrome. Today we share an article featuring James Gallagher a golfer.
Poland Syndrome and Breast Prostheses
Poland Syndrome for young teenage girls and women can be particularly distressing as the Poland Syndrome affected side may lead to an undeveloped breast. We met Bravelle on Twitter and think they could really be helpful if you’re considering an alternative to surgery to help gain some body confidence.
You are not alone
Poland Syndrome is so rare individuals and families can feel isolated and very alone with no one to talk to or share their troubles and joys. This is why we set up PIP-UK and we were delighted to receive some positive feedback on our Facebook Page today !

Poland Syndrome – Chest Surgery
Some men can feel self-conscious about their chest area when they have Poland Syndrome. The chest muscle does not form on one side and can make men be wary of displaying their chest in public. Today we share Paul’s story and his decision to have cosmetic surgery to improve his chest area before walking down the aisle with his bride.
Path to Self-Esteem
At PIP-UK we bring you another shared experience about growing up with Poland Syndrome from childhood to adulthood. Poland syndrome for young girls can be difficult. Frequently the challenges to self-esteem are carried through to adulthood. Suanne Reiker has been through this and we share her story in search of her self-esteem.
Encouragement goes a long way!
Sharing experiences about Poland Syndrome helps us all to understand what might be coming for a younger generation and also what we can do to support our friends and family. We featured a new blog we found a few weeks ago about one persons account of living with Poland Syndrome. Thanks to our readers she has posted again….
