Abstract

CASTILLO DELGADO, P et al. Areolar approach in augmentation mammaplasty. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2007, vol.33, n.2, pp.091-096. ISSN 1989-2055.

Augmentation mammoplasty has gained acceptance as a safe surgical procedure with fast recovery and a readily predictable outcome. Increasing patient expectations impose demands on natural appearance  without signs of surgery. All standard incision areas for insertion of implant leave visible scars. For women with large areolar diameter, it is possible to leave a hidden scar at the aerola-nipple junction by conducting an intra- areolar approach. The technique is described and its intended application and advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
