We are reporting on an easy, reliable and reproducible nipple-areola complex reconstruction. The main feature is to perform a full-thickness skin graft to rebuild the areola and a subcutaneous pedicled island flap for the reconstruction of the nipple in the middle of the graft. Each step is described. This technique remains easily practical and allows to keep an appropriate nipple projection. Moreover, it fits to all kind of breast reconstruction.
