Temporary Areolar Demarcation for Nipple-areola Complex Reconstruction
We have described a surgical method that enhances the visual aesthetic outcome of the areola periphery in nipple-areola complex reconstruction. This technique is performed immediately following closure of the nipple flap. The created areolar outline can aid the tattoo artist and may result in a more natural-appearing areola periphery than tattooing methods alone.
متن کاملSurgical Delay of the Nipple–Areolar Complex in High-risk Nipple-sparing Mastectomy Reconstruction
As nipple-sparing mastectomy gains increasing popularity, minimizing the risk of nipple necrosis continues to be of critical importance to patients and surgeons. Patients with large or ptotic breasts, scars from previous cosmetic and/or oncologic breast surgery, or previous irradiation have often been denied nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) because of increased risk of nipple necrosis. A variety...
متن کاملNipple-areolar Complex Reconstruction following Postmastectomy Breast Reconstruction: A Comparative Utility Assessment Study
BACKGROUND Nipple-areola complex (NAC) reconstruction occurs toward the final stage of breast reconstruction; however, not all women follow through with these procedures. The goal of this study was to determine the impact of the health state burden of living with a reconstructed breast before NAC reconstruction. METHODS A sample of the population and medical students at McGill University were...
متن کاملImmediate Nipple-Areolar Complex Reconstruction for Patients Undergoing Implant-Based Reconstruction or Therapeutic Mammoplasty
BACKGROUND We report a technique of immediate nipple-areolar complex (NAC) reconstruction for patients undergoing skin-sparing mastectomy and implant-based breast reconstruction or therapeutic mammoplasty with central excision. METHODS Immediate nipple reconstruction is performed using a modified C-V flap planned along the edge of the incision. The areola is reconstructed using a full-thickne...
متن کاملAbstract: Nipple-Areolar Complex Reconstruction: A Compilation of Techniques to Achieve a Natural Result
IntroductIon: Vascularized lymph node transfer (VLNT) and lymphovenous bypass (LVB) procedures represent physiologic treatment options for symptomatic lymphedema. Secondary causes related to oncologic surgery and/ or radiation have been successfully treated using these surgical procedures. Primary lymphedema represents a poorly understood lymphedematous condition with equally poor understanding...
