Nipple reconstruction using hyaluronic acid injections
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if injecting a gel-like substance (hyaluronic acid) can improve nipple reconstruction in women who have had mastectomies. It aims to see if this method works better than or alongside tattoos for rebuilding the nipple-areola area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a special supportive material called acellular dermal matrix in women having two-stage breast reconstruction after mastectomy. The goal is to learn how well it works when the implant is placed directly under the skin, over the chest muscle.
This study looks at how women feel after having a robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate implant reconstruction. It focuses on their well-being and satisfaction after surgery.
This study tests whether using a special membrane (amnion allograft) during nipple-sparing mastectomy helps keep the nipple healthy and alive after surgery. It may help people having gender-affirming chest surgery or those reducing breast cancer risk.
This trial tests a new way to remove the breast through a small cut in the armpit (endoscopic nipple-sparing mastectomy) and immediately rebuild the breast using your own fat. It's for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their nipple and have reconstruction at the same time.
This trial tests a nonsurgical method using hyaluronic acid injections to rebuild gum tissue between teeth where gum recession has occurred. It may help improve the appearance and health of your gums without surgery.
This trial compares two types of mastectomy (with skin and nipple options) and implant reconstruction to see which gives better cosmetic results, comfort, and satisfaction. You may help doctors learn which approach leads to a better quality of life after surgery.
