title: A new technique for areolar reconstruction.
abstract: A new technique for areolar reconstruction is presented. Donor areolar tissue is preferred, but groin or thigh skin may be used. The modification of this procedure is the placement of a strip of areolar skin as a circular mesh, so that small amounts of tissue may be used to give an irregular surface. To restore the size of the donor areola, the same principle is applied by outward expansion of the remaining areolar tissue. If the areola is small, we prefer to make the reconstruction bilateral.
