Abstract:
Objective The female nipple hypertrophy and mammary hypotrophy can be corrected by simultaneous operation to get more beautiful mammary profile. This study is to explore the new methods for mammary augmentation and nipple reduction. Methods The modified Regnault method was used to correct nipple hypertrophy. The procedures included removing a peripheral portion of the nipple and collapsing the distal portion of it. Other surgical technique was also applied for reduction of nipple height and diameter without affecting the central lactiferous ducts. Mammary augmentation was performed by putting a prosthesis in pectoralis major muscle through an endoscopy on transaxillary incision. Results The procedures were undertaken in 9 cases since 1998, in which 8 cases had been followed up for 3 to 12 months. The results of mammary augmentation and reduction of nipple were satisfactory. The appearance was fine with inconspicous scars, and there were no complications related to surgery. Conclusion The procedures for simultaneous plasty of the nipple hypertrophy and mammary hypotrophy are safe, simple and effective. [
