Abstract
A simple and useful technique for nipple projection is reported. A buried, subcutaneous, purse-string suture is placed through prick holes and, when tied, gives a nipple mound, without the need of skin incisions, flaps, or undermining. This procedure can be applied to inverted, missing, and/or ill-defined nipples.
