Nipple-sparing mastectomy: evaluation of patient satisfaction, aesthetic results, and sensation.

29 Apr 2009 The purpose of this study is to describe our experience with nipple-sparing mastectomy and immediate reconstruction, with particular attention to patient satisfaction, aesthetic results, and nipple sensation. Immediate reconstruction was performed ... Read more...

Areola-nipple perception threshold to faradic electricity: a new measure of sensibility of the breasts.

27 Apr 2008 BACKGROUND: We describe a new method to study the sensibility of the nipple-areola complex of the breast with faradic electricity delivered through an electromyographic device used to monitor peripheral nerve conduction. METHODS: The objective ... Read more...

Relative implant volume and sensibility alterations after breast augmentation.

29 Apr 2007 BACKGROUND: Recent studies have provided diverging results regarding the factors that may affect sensibility after primary breast augmentation. Implant volume is believed to be an important factor, but the relation of implant size to breast volume ... Read more...
