nipple grafts were harvested. They were marked to be side
specific and were stored on the back table in moistened lap
sponges. I amputated the inferior portion of the breast from
the right side. I then moved to the left and again amputated
the inferior portion of the breast. The nipple-areolar
complexes were de-epithelialized using the scalpel. The
free-nipple grafts were then retrieved from the back table.
They were each defatted using scissors and were placed in
