Convergent nipple-areolar complexes corrected by inferior curved pedicle technique.
We report a case of mammaplasty followed by a marked convergence of the nipple-areolar complex and describe the surgical repair by means of an inferior dermal-fat curved flap. The curve of the inferior pedicle permits one to raise the nipple to its normal position with ease and exceptional viability, even if a breast reduction procedure is associated.
