Abstract
Firm contact to the underlying recipient bed and immobilization are necessary for survival of an areolar skin graft, yet compression of the nipple must be avoided when performing nipple-areola reconstruction. A simple dressing technique is described that simultaneously accomplishes both goals and can be carried out with commonly available materials.
