    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery
    • Microsurgery

    Background:

    • Nipple reconstruction is a critical component of breast reconstruction.
    • Existing methods, such as toe pulp free grafts, have limitations.
    • A need exists for improved nipple reconstruction techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel nipple reconstruction technique.
    • To evaluate the efficacy and advantages of this new method.
    • To compare the new technique with traditional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • A composite graft harvested from the constant prominence of the hallux (big toe) was utilized.
    • The graft was meticulously prepared and transferred to reconstruct the nipple.
    • Surgical outcomes were assessed based on aesthetic and functional results.

    Main Results:

    • The presented technique demonstrated good results in nipple reconstruction.
    • Advantages over traditional nipple reconstruction with toe pulp free grafts were observed.
    • The composite hallux graft provided a viable and effective option.

    Conclusions:

    • The composite hallux graft is a promising technique for nipple reconstruction.
    • This method offers a valuable alternative with potential benefits.
    • Further studies may explore long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction.
