One-stage breast reduction and nipple-areolar reconstruction.
The authors present an easily designed and accomplished technique of one-stage reduction mammaplasty and nipple-areolar reconstruction for patients with large or medium-size breasts and for patients missing the nipple-areolar complex. The technique has low inherent risks, and the symmetry of the breast is maintained to the maximum. In addition to the cosmetic improvement, using this technique benefits the patient further by avoiding postoperative corrections or adjustments.
