[Corrective interventions of the breast].
The shape, size and location of the nipple and areola are the points that distinguish and ideal-looking breast. Tuberous deformity, inverted nipple and excess of areola tissue are congenital anomalies of the breast. Surgical correction is indicated especially in a case of asymmetry. Acquired malformations of the nipple-areola complex can be the result of injuries or surgical treatment like breast reduction. In this cases a surgical correction improves the result. Some representative cases are demonstrated.
