Figure 2. Left, schematic of the flap to be prepared. The lines represent demarcations of the incisions (A and B - side flaps; C - flap covering the new nipple). The tip of flap A is sutured to point b', while the tip of flap B is sutured to point a'. Right, the nipple profile result at the end of the second surgery.
