Reconstruction techniques comprises of composite nipple grafts, local flap, flaps with autologous graft augmentation, flaps with alloplastic augmentation and flaps with allograft augmentation. Areolar reconstruction by using skin grafting and tattooing are the easiest and most common techniques. Patients with loss of the nipple and areola from cancer excision, trauma, or congenital absence continue to experience psychological distress even long after breast mound reconstruction has taken place. Indications include congenital or developmental pathology (athelia, amastia), posttraumatic or burn deformities, and complications from breast surgery such as reduction mammaplasty. In the cases of breast cancer, whole breast reconstruction following mastectomy can provide significant psychosocial benefits for women
