After breast cancer, the breast reconstruction operation is one of the most grateful, safe and effective plastic surgeries for patients. Within this procedure, the reconstruction of the areola-nipple complex is of utmost importance in the final result of the reconstruction and this is recognized by the patients.

An erroneous planning or execution of this procedure can result in a poor overall result. The correct transposition of the measurements of the healthy breast (or contralateral breast) to the new breast is very important, adequately resolving such relevant aspects as the size of the nipple, the height of the areola-nipple complex, the texture, diameter or coloration of the areola etc.

An optimal result in this reconstructive phase will lead to a notable improvement in the image of the patient, and in her physical and psychological well-being.
