[Skin sensitivity before and after reduction mammaplasty. Report of 44 cases].
The main aim of reductive surgery for breast hypertrophy has often been the aesthetic result without considering on the cutaneous sensitivity. This retrospective analysis studied the subjective and objective sensitivity after mammoplasty reduction 44 patients. The preoperative results showed a reduction of sensitivity directly proportional to the ptosis. After surgery the patients described an improvement of the sensibility, especially in the case of moderate resection. This study shows the good restoration of nerve fibers after chronic stretching due to hypertrophy. Nerve fibres were restored when areolar graft was used.
