The modified C-V flap technique enhances nipple reconstruction by improving projection retention and reducing revisions. This method offers a reliable solution for restoring the nipple-areola complex after breast reconstruction.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Nipple reconstruction is essential for aesthetic breast reconstruction, aiming to restore the nipple-areola complex (NAC).
  • Traditional C-V flap techniques often struggle with long-term nipple projection, necessitating overcorrection or revisions.

Observation:

  • A modified C-V flap technique utilizing purse-string sutures was employed.
  • The procedure was performed on a 63-year-old woman with a history of unsuccessful reconstructions.

Findings:

  • The modified C-V flap demonstrated improved nipple projection retention, minimizing the need for secondary procedures.
  • The technique, when combined with composite grafts and tattooing, effectively managed complications like radiotherapy effects.

Implications:
