ABSTRACT

Skin and nipple preserving mastectomy has improved the aesthetic appearance of the reconstructed breasts and patient's quality of life, which is why its popularity has increased in the last decade. Unfortunately, lack of nipple projection is still a cause of recurring complaint among reconstructed patients. Several techniques have been proposed to improve nipple projection; however, experience is limited in cases of nipple preserving mastectomy. Hyaluronic acid is a widely dermal filler available aimed at giving volume and projection to the anatomical areas where it is applied. In this paper we present the case of a 25-year-old female who underwent implant-based breast reconstruction after skin and nipple preserving mastectomy. 0.3 mL of hyaluronic acid was applied to the nipple of the reconstructed breast improving the projection and appearance of the treated area.
