Breast modeling after subcutaneous mastectomy

Abstract

The authors present their experience in two-team work in subcutaneous mastectomy, where the mastologists are responsible for the pathology of the breast and the plastic surgeon is responsible for the aesthetics and some of the complications arising from their aesthetical work. They make a minute study of existing operating techniques and present a personal contribution for breast modeling in cases of skin envelope reduction along with preservation of the neurovascular network of the nipple and the areola. They consider the secondary problems of this type of surgery and how they can be solved.
