  • Removal of Accessory Breast Tissue | Dr Josie Todd

This tissue, also known as supernumerary breast tissue, can appear in various locations such as the armpit, upper chest, or even along the milk line (the area from the armpit to the groin). The goal of accessory breast tissue removal is to enhance aesthetic appearance, reduce discomfort, and eliminate any associated functional or psychological concerns.

  • Wide Local Excision with Lateral Chest Wall Perforator Flaps | Dr Josie Todd

This is a good option for those women who wish to conserve their breasts and avoid mastectomy with reconstruction. All patients must have formal clinical assessments to determine suitability for this technique.

  • Nipple-Sparing/Skin-Sparing Mastectomy | Dr Josie Todd

    Nipple-Sparing/Skin-Sparing Mastectomy with Immediate Reconstruction Women with extensive DCIS or multifocal cancer who require a mastectomy could consider nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. The breast skin and nipple are preserved, and the type of reconstruction would depend on the individual patient. If the tumour is close to the nipple, patients could be offered skin-sparing mastectomy, where the nipple is sacrificed as part of the cancer operation. (Hyperlink to reconstruction) This is a useful option in women with high risk due to family history and an inherited genetic mutation (such as BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, CHEK2, TP53, PALB2) who wish to consider risk-reducing mastectomy.
