Abstract: Necrosis of nipple-areola complex is one of the major complications of breast reduction in gigatomastia. We present a case study of a 32-year-old patient with severe gigantomastia, who required an immediate nipple reconstruction during breast reduction. The final reconstruction was satisfactory. No complications were observed within three months postoperatively.
