Nipple Sparing Mastectomy
In traditional mastectomies the nipple and areola were removed, as well as a portion of the breast skin, leaving a long scar across the chest.
In Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy, we do not remove the nipple, areola, or any breast skin. Through a small incision, all of the breast glandular tissue is removed from beneath the overlying skin and nipple. The full breast skin envelope and nipple are left completely intact.
Reconstruction of the breast is completed at the same time with either an implant or natural tissue. This allows for the breast to have a natural, more aesthetic post-surgery look.
