“…This technique, which utilizes a percutaneous approach to constrict the muscle fibers and connective tissue underneath the areola to reduce the size of the areola, has not been presented in the past. Andjelkov et al 7 published the use of a percutaneous technique to correct the protuberant NAC in men and women. This technique focused on treating the herniating breast tissue through the NAC rather than primarily addressing the large diameter areola.…”

Summary: We present a novel percutaneous areola reduction technique that, to our knowledge, has never been used or published in the past. This technique is a useful solution to the downsides of the current most commonly used technique for areola reductions that uses a circumareolar incision. Our current technique utilizes a percutaneous approach, which is a minimally invasive procedure, and produces a virtually scarless result.

“…The logic of flap C is to produce a telescopic drawing back of the areola, realigning its prominent aspect. 19 The removed extra parenchyma behind the areola provides an increment of thickness below the distal edge of the areola, recontouring the profile of the upper part of the lower pole, where usually a residual depression could remain to distort the profile of the mammary cone.…”

was 12 months. All the procedures were performed under local anesthesia. Results: A total of 220 tuberous breasts (98 hypoplastic and 122 normoplastic) were treated. Mean patient age was 20.2 years. Mean follow-up was 36.5 months. Six minor complications (capsular contracture and nipple-areola complex hypesthesia) but no major complications were reported. In 9% of cases, minor secondary procedures, including lipofilling, scar revisions, and breast implant substitution, were performed. Conclusion:The proposed algorithm, including a comprehensive classification, preoperative planning, and surgical approach derived from the authors' experience, presents a tailored surgical approach for each type of tuberous breast.

“…The therapeutic indications for this technique, however, are clearly indicated in the article [1]. Percutaneous electrocoagulation of the NAC can be also viewed as a preventive method for NAC herniation and areola widening, because of the controlled scaring in the subdermal structures of the NAC [8]. We have been performing this technique successfully for last five years in selected cases.…”
