Lymphatic Drainage of the Breast, a Retrospective Assessment of Data

September 21, 2021 updated by: Dr. Elisabeth Würinger
retrospective evaluation of patients, in whom blue colour was injected into different sites of the breast before breast reduction, to investigate direction and localisation of lymphatic flow. Investigations were performed at the Wilhelminenspital, Vienna, in the years 1998 to 2009.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
injection behind NAC
in 7 breasts dye was injected behind the nipple areola complex before breast reduction
Procedure: anatomical examination
After injection of dye, its distribution along lymphatic clearance paths was investigated
Injection into lateral upper quadrant
in 5 breasts dye was injected into upper lateral glandular tissue before breast reduction
Procedure: anatomical examination
After injection of dye, its distribution along lymphatic clearance paths was investigated
injection into medial upper quadrant
in 2 breasts dye was injected into upper medial glandular tissue before breast reduction
Procedure: anatomical examination
After injection of dye, its distribution along lymphatic clearance paths was investigated

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lymphatic flow is guided by the ligamentous suspension
Time Frame: The ligamentous suspension (horizontal septum, vertical ligaments merging into superficial fascia) is exposed in the course of breast reduction in the technique, that I described usually within about 40 minutes
colour gathered along horizontal septum
The ligamentous suspension (horizontal septum, vertical ligaments merging into superficial fascia) is exposed in the course of breast reduction in the technique, that I described usually within about 40 minutes
