Chin Med Sci J. 2020 Mar 31;35(1):92-94. doi: 10.24920/003581.

Abstract

Necrosis of nipple-areola complex is one of the major complications of breast reduction in gigatomastia. We present a case study of a 32-year-old patient with severe gigantomastia, who required an immediate nipple reconstruction during breast reduction. The final reconstruction was satisfactory. No complications were observed within three months postoperatively.
