Abstract

Proper nipple-areolar complex position in reduction mammoplasty patients is a challenging problem regardless of the preferred technique. Postoperatively, the nipple-areolar complex is often not located at the most projected area of the breast. This retrospective observational study aimed to find the long-term measurements of the nipple-areolar complex position and inferior pole length after inverted T scar-superomedial pedicle reduction mammoplasty.
