abstract: The use of pigmented grafts for nipple-areola reconstruction of amputed breasts is disappointing because of frequent depigmentation. Dermopigmentation is an easy, quick and effective means to ensure restoration of the nipple-areolar complex. This technique is presented as a two-step reconstruction under local anesthesia, on an outpatient basis. The final nipple may be obtained, at the second stage, by silicone prosthesis implantation under the previously pigmented mammary skin.
