RESUMO
A one-stage surgical correction of tuberous and tubular breast deformities is described. An intraareolar donut of pigmented skin is deepithelialized to correct the associated mega areola, allowing, at the same time, a port of entry for insertion of a retroglandular breast implant. The exposed areolar dermis is then telescoped inward and stretch-anchored to an imaginary circular line situated beneath the breast skin areola junction, thus pushing the breast tissue against the implant and the chest wall and correcting the deformity. The round-block technique is then utilized to approximate the skin edges, resulting in a minimal scar, totally inconspicuous, confined to the immediate perinipple area.
