Summary

A simple and less time consuming technique was tried in a case and is being described in which the underlying pathology was directly approached. The nipple was released in vertical and horizontal directions. Nipple pedicle was stabilized by nonabsorbable purse-string sutures. Limited horizontal undermining beneath the areola was done sufficient enough to cover the nipple pedicle in order to maintain the sensations and vascularity of the areola.

Key Words

Inversion - nipple - areola - pendulous - purse-string suture - lactiferous ducts
