title: Reconstruction and/or salvage of nipple projection.
abstract: A simple method of creating nipple projection in flattened nipple-areola complexes is presented. The results required, on average, 14 months of follow-up, with very good projection and general appearance in all patients. This technique eliminates the unnecessary surgical gymnastics of other methods when obtaining nipple projection.
