The nipple position was also estimated at the mid-humerus level just medial to the mid-clavicular line.\nMarking of Breast (2nd marking): The breast was marked along the inframammary fold encircling the enlarged breast tissue.\nMarking of skin excess (3rd marking): This marking was done in a circular manner, depending on the size and shape of the breast, with a 2-2.2 cm width from the 1st marking [Figure 4a].\nFigure 4 (a) Pre-operative marking of areola, breast and skin excess, (b) De-epithelisation of skin excess, (c) Fixation of areola and closure of the de-epithelised area","divisions":[{"label":"title","span":{"begin":0,"end":20}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":21,"end":152}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":153,"end":745}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":153,"end":438}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":439,"end":560}},{"label":"p","span":{"begin":561,"end":745}},{"label":"label","span":{"begin":746,"end":754}}],"tracks":[]}
