Mastectomy in Spain
Mastectomy can be carried out in different ways depending on the size of the breasts. If the breasts are small, you could undergo a mastectomy with subcutaneous nipple conservation, in which the skin, nipple and areola are preserved. This procedure minimizes scarring, has a faster recovery period and usually preserves nipple sensation. If the breasts are bigger, the nipples and areolas may need to be removed, resized, and grafted back into place. This causes more scarring and loss of feeling in the nipples.
The surgeon will determine which is the most appropriate technique for the patient, always taking into account his specific characteristics.
