This work provides a comprehensive overview and critique of nipple reconstruction techniques to date. It then explores different tissue engineering concepts and how these may improve clinical outcomes for patients undergoing nipple reconstruction. A novel technique is proposed, whereby a three-dimensional-printed tissue-engineered construct is used as an autologous graft to assist nipple reconstruction.

Reconstructed breast with silicone breast implants (SBIs) after nipple-sparing mastectomy (NSM) provides high patient satisfaction from a cosmetic point of view, but low patient satisfaction with respect to hypoesthesia of the reconstructed breast, and reinnervation is required. Currently, few reports are available on reinnervation in breast reconstruction with implants, and detailed data on desensitization of reconstructed breasts are lacking. Therefore, we examined perceptual data after NSM with respect to reinnervation.

The single port robotic nipple sparing mastectomy (SPrNSM) was recently introduced. This approach is safe and has led to favorable outcomes in relation to cosmetic result, patient satisfaction, and breast sensation. The typical reconstruction with all robotic nipple sparing mastectomies is implant based; however, this is not always what a patient desires.

Background: Breasts with a broad base, constricted inframammary fold (IMF) and a short distance between the nipple and the IMF are predisposed to form a double bubble (DB) deformity. Most publications have focused on the correction of a DB rather than on its prevention and thorough analysis of the IMF.
Objectives: Introduction of a third dissection plane in breast augmentation for preventing or correcting DB deformities.
