Abstract

Correction of the position of the nipple and areola complex (NAC) that is superiorly displaced in patients who have undergone previous mastopexy or breast reduction presents as a difficult challenge. Previously described techniques are limited in the degree of movement that is possible. A technique is presented that releases the superiorly malpositioned NAC from the surrounding breast flaps, keeping it attached to the underlying breast parenchyma. The vertically oriented skin incision is closed primarily, and the NAC is delivered in a new lower location situated at the apex of the breast mound.
