    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Nipple Reconstruction

    Background:

    • Achieving normal nipple texture, sensation, and erectile function post-reconstruction is difficult.
    • Symmetry in diameter and projection are critical for successful nipple reconstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a new surgical method for nipple reconstruction.
    • To address the challenges of achieving symmetry and predictable outcomes in nipple reconstruction.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizes available local skin for reconstruction.
    • Avoids invasive procedures on the contralateral breast or other donor sites.

    Main Results:

    • The presented method fulfills requirements for symmetry in diameter and projection.
