    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Dermatology
    • Medical Aesthetics

    Context:

    • Nipple drooping, or "pendular nipple," disproportionately affects women of African origin.
    • This condition can cause significant aesthetic concerns and psychological distress.

    Purpose:

    • To describe a novel surgical technique for the correction of pendular nipples.
    • To restore a natural appearance and color to the nipple-areola complex.

    Summary:

    • The proposed technique involves a triangular resection of the nipple and areola, preserving the nipple point.
    • A pre-raised graft is then applied to the resected area to reconstruct the nipple-areola complex.
    • This method aims to provide a cosmetically superior outcome for patients with severe nipple ptosis.

    Impact:

    • Offers a potential solution for a specific aesthetic concern in a defined patient population.
    • May improve patient satisfaction and quality of life by addressing nipple ptosis.
    • Contributes to the surgical armamentarium for nipple reconstruction and rejuvenation procedures.
