Abstract
A method of repair is presented for correction of both the abnormally enlarged nipple-areolar complex with herniation of breast tissue through a dilated and enlarged areola, and of enlarged areolae following pregnancy. A simultaneous augmentation mammaplasty can be performed when indicated. The deep double-layered closure reduces tension on the areolar suture line and minimizes postoperative enlargement of the reconstructed areola.Keywords
