Secondary correction of the too-high areola and nipple after a mammaplasty

D R Millard Jr et al. Plast Reconstr Surg. 1976 Nov.

Abstract

Two cases of nipples placed too high by reduction mammaplasties have been corrected by a combination of maneuvers--including (1) shortening the distance from the nipple to the inframammary line, and (2) repositioning of the areola-nipple component or putting in an implant to make the main projection of the breast directly behind the nipple.
