Abstract:
The main disadvantage of most methods for nipple reconstruction is shrinkage of the nipple. This paper presents a one-stage procedure using a local flap with a full-thickness skin grafting that has the advantages of high patient satisfaction. Since June 1993, we have been using a technique for nipple reconstruction by raising two opposing beta-shaped random skin flaps. This technique has been performed on 8 breasts in 4 patients.
