Conservative mastectomies

Maurizio B Nava et al. Aesthetic Plast Surg. 2009 Sep.

Abstract

Nowadays, oncological breast surgery has to be performed to maximize cosmetic results, and even mastectomies, when unavoidable, should conform to acceptable aesthetics. We investigated surgical approaches to skin-sparing mastectomies. Scar positioning and volume replacement were evaluated. We also discuss nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM), probably the most outstanding item in the current debate on breast shape preservation. We give suggestions for safe admission criteria and effective treatment.
