Extreme Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy: Feasibility of Nipple Preservation and Immediate Reconstruction in Breasts Weighing Over 600 Grams in a Cohort of 43 Patients

Conclusions: NSM with immediate reconstruction was successful in the majority of patients with large-volume breasts. The rate of nipple loss was acceptably low. Women with breast volumes larger than 600 g who are motivated to save their nipples at the time of mastectomy could be offered NSM.
