Reconstruction of the Plaque Aréolo-Mamelonnaire (PAM)

The reconstruction of the arena and the nipple, also known as the plaque Arolo-mamelonnaire, or PAM, finishes breast reconstruction. It involves reconstructing a colourful disk that matches the arena and a central and projected volume corresponding to the nipple. There is a distinction the reconstruction of the arena of the nipple.

The reconstruction of the arena can be done essentially in two ways:

Tattooing

• Introduction a sterile pigment in the dermis to recreate the coloration of the arena, depending on the colour of the arena on the healthy side.
• The pigmentation in the areola can decrease over time, tinkering later may be necessary.

Skin Registry

• One skin disc is removed from the groin’s crease for both main properties that are its colour and character concealed from the scar.
• The result is more durable in time and more natural with relief approaching the healthy arena.

The reconstruction of the nipple is carried out using two techniques:

Local lambeau

• Breast skin is used in the area of the nipple to be rebuilt.
• It is remodelled and conformed to create a new nipple.

Registry

• It is done by taking half the healthy nipple.
• It is then positioned against the area of the nipple to be rebuilt.

Possible only if the nipple is of sufficient volume, it leaves almost no scars at the level of the specimen and does not alter the tenderness of the nipple.
