Abstract



Background


The goal of breast reconstruction after breast cancer is to obtain symmetrical breasts, including the nipple-areola complex. However, in some cases the nipple-areola complex may not be symmetrical even though a symmetrical breast shape has been created. In such cases the nipple-areola complex has been transpositioned, leaving a scar to close the wound or skin graft in the original position.
