Background: Reduction mammoplasty is a technique used for treating women with breast hypertrophy, in addition to improving the appearance of these breasts. Hence, corrections under this include functional and aesthetic outcomes, while preserving vascularity sensibility Aim : To evaluate superomedial septal-based reduction patients hypertrophy on Nipple Areola Complex (NAC) vascularity, overall ...

Neurofibromas are benign peripheral nerve sheath tumours, which are usually solitary and sporadic. Solitary neurofibromas of the breast are rare. The most common location of a breast neurofibroma is the nipple-areola complex. We report a rare case of a 56-year-old woman with a solitary neurofibroma of the right breast sulcus.

Although preservation of the sensitivity of the nipple and areola is an important goal in breast surgery, only scant and contradictory information about the course and distribution of the supplying nerves is found in the literature. The existing controversy might be due to the difficulty in dissecting the thin nerves and to frequent anatomic variations that bias the results if only a small numb...

La Jolla, Calif., Baltimore, Md.; and Washington, D.C. Background: The body of literature documenting normative breast sensation and postoperative changes in sensation after reduction mammaplasty has grown considerably over the last several years. Despite this, only two studies have ever been published on the subject of postaugmentation mammaplasty sensory outcomes. The purpose of this study wa...
