5) Skin-sparing mastectomy
The doctor removes breast tissue, the nipple, and the areola, but most of the skin over the breast is left intact. It is only used when a mastectomy is followed by quick breast reconstruction. If your tumors are large or near the skin’s surface, it may not be the best option.
Mastectomy, the most common treatment for Men
The most common therapy for males with breast cancer is a mastectomy. Because men’s breast tissue is so sparse, physicians frequently remove the entire breast. Your doctor may also remove some lymph nodes in the area. They may also advise you to have the other breast removed to prevent cancer in that area.
Reconstructive surgery using implants is rarely performed on men. That’s because they don’t help with a man’s chest form. However, your doctor can repair your nipple and make the afflicted breast look more natural.
