Abstract
A technique of nipple reconstruction using two local flaps is described. The central 'core' flap is surrounded by a peripheral 'wrap' flap, producing a natural nipple. Results of 24 nipple reconstructions in 22 cases are presented. This technique is useful when the neo-nipple location falls on the mastectomy scar.
