More Than Just Shape: Restoring Feeling After Breast Reconstruction
The sensory innervation of the breast is derived from the medial and lateral cutaneous branches of the third through fifth intercostal nerves. These nerves are frequently compromised during mastectomy procedures. While breast reinnervation has been a known surgical option for two decades, its adoption has been limited, largely due to the technical challenge of precisely locating the recipient nerve.
Thinking About a Second Breast Reduction? New Research Makes “Revisions” Safer Than Ever
In a primary breast reduction, the surgeon creates a "pedicle"—a bridge of tissue that keeps the nipple and areola attached to their blood and nerve supply while the surrounding tissue is removed.
The challenge with revision surgery is that the new surgeon often doesn't know which technique the previous surgeon used. If they cut into the old "lifeline" by mistake, it can lead to Nipple-Areola Complex (NAC) Necrosis (loss of the nipple tissue).
