Breast Neurotization
What is Breast Neurotization?
Breast neurotization, or breast reinnervation, is a procedure in which sensory nerves are reattached during breast reconstruction.
Why Neurotize?
Reattached sensory nerves can regenerate over time, potentially allowing patients to better regain sensation of their reconstructed breasts.²
