Nipple-areola transposition by the superolateral-rotation pedicle technique in reduction mammaplasty: surgical description.
We report on a modified nipple-aerola transposition, employing a superolateral dermoglandular pedicle for primary use in reduction mammaplasty. We have found the method to be safe, technically simple, and quick. The cosmetic results have been satisfactory with a high rate of consistency in appearance.
