Popis: | Benelli in 1990 demonstrated the round-block technique in mammaplasty to confine the scar in the areola. However, problems of scar widening and changes in areola shape represent a common problem with this technique. We present a modification to the technique that preserves the shape of the areola without the need for a non-absorbable suture. This technique may also be used to reduce the areola diameter. |
