Surgery method
- 01Regnault-type incision · The incision is made at the centre of the nipple to remove the planned amount of skin, and the remaining parts are then sewn together.
- 02L-shaped incision · Part of the nipple head is cut in an "L" shape and the remaining skin is sewn together, which reduces the protrusion.
- 03V-shaped incision · The incision is made on the head of the nipple in a "V" shape and the remaining area is sewn together. (Recurrence is less likely, but the milk ducts could be blocked.)
