Figure 2

Artist’s depiction of pre- and postoperative markings for simultaneous nipple-sparing mastectomy and reduction mastopexy. A “boomerang” shaped supra-areolar incision is made, through which breast tissue and a variable amount of skin are excised. The edges are reapproximated after insertion of a tissue expander.
