PURPOSE: Nipple-areola reconstruction represents an important step for final mammary reconstruction. Many techniques have been described. The drawback is the progressive nipple projection loss with time from 50% to over 70% of the initial projection. In this report, we evaluated the effect of injectable @entity7049 ( @entity15274 ) to improve projection of reconstructed nipples. RESULTS: We selected 12 @entity1 with a residual nipple projection between 0.1 and 2  mm. The @entity1 were injected locally inside the nipple with 0.5  ml of @entity15274 (dilution 1:4) every 4 weeks for 4 times. At the study end, @entity1 were satisfied with results. No adverse effects were observed. After one year, an increase of nipple projection ranging from 0.5 to 3.5  mm was obtained with an average increase of 2.3  mm (282%) and this variation was statistically significant (p  <  0.0001). CONCLUSION: The use of injectable @entity15274 is a simple and effective procedure to improve projection of reconstructed nipple.
