Abstract
We developed a novel transposition technique for the correction of an asymmetric nipple-areola complex (NAC) due to breast mound reconstruction after a nipple-sparing mastectomy. The technique was composed of a rotation flap and an advancement flap. In this study, we describe a case of a 35-year-old woman with a malpositioned NAC located at the upper lateral position with a vertical scar in the lateral area of the breast treated by this technique, with a follow-up period of 12 years. In this case, established techniques were difficult to apply as there were thin underlying subcutaneous tissue and scars near the NAC. This technique may be useful in such a case and is an additional option in the correction of a malpositioned NAC from the upper lateral position to the ideal position on a breast mound.
