Abstract
Subcantaneous mastectomy through a lateral approach, with preservation of the nipple and areola on a dermal pedicle, removing the excess skin at the time of aubautaneous mastectomy, is a safe procedure which results in esthetically acceptable breasts. The surgical approach greatly facilitates the removal of the entire glandular portion of the breast. The need for a second surgical procedure is eliminated. Lateral biopsy scars can be reinforced by the dermal sling support, thereby decreasing the chances of exposure of the implant. The implant is also successfully and easily held in position by the use of the dermal-fat sling support. The nipple and areola survive quite well on the dermal pedicle, with preservation of contractility and sensation, as well as of blood supply.
