Fig. 2.1
(a) A circumferential incision was made without excision or deepithelialization of the periareolar skin. Although the areola was 3.5 cm in diameter, the wound automatically became wider after a full-thickness periareolar incision. (b) Subcutaneous dissection was extended to the entire breast including the lower quadrants. A wound retractor could widen the wound and facilitated entire subcutaneous dissection

(a) The nipple-areola complex (NAC) was pushed downward, and the wound was moved above the tumor. (b) Partial mastectomy was completed with a good field of view
Fig. 2.3
