Abstrakt: Augmentation mammoplasty refers to "top surgery" for transfemale patients. Before this surgery, due to the hormonal treatment being taken, it may be encountered that there would be a glandular tissue of breast that seems to be similar to the simple tuberous breast disease, which is one of the diseases in female breast development. The presence of areolar protuberance in transfemale would of course undermine the cosmetic gain after augmentation mammoplasty operation. This situation, which can be difficult to diagnose before surgery especially in transfemale patients, will manifest itself clearly after the end of augmentation mammoplasty. As a precaution, resection of a part of glandular tissue equal to the protruding height of the areola from the posterior wall of the gland is an effective method both in terms of its simple applicability and not to use of an extra skin incision while performing augmentation mammoplasty.
