- An example is the inferior pedicle technique, in which the areola and nipple are moved while attached to a mound of tissue, called a pedicle, that contains the still-connected lactiferous ducts and nerves.
- However, if the implant is placed on top of the pectoral muscle, it can exert pressure on the lactiferous ducts and glands, which will reduce lactation.
- It is produced in the cytoplasm of lactiferous cells along with amino acids, phospholipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.
