title: Twelve-year delay of a nipple-sharing graft: A case report.
abstract: The present report describes the use of a nipple-sharing technique for nipple areolar reconstruction using a donor nipple that was initially grafted from the contralateral and healthy breast 12 years earlier. There are many different techniques available to reconstruct the nipple. Although nipple sharing is not feasible to use in all patients, when available, it is an ideal approach for matching the contralateral nipple in terms of shape, colour, texture and long-term projection.
