The captions for Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are in the wrong order. Following is the correct order:
Fig. 1
The surgical instrument invented by Dr. Luan Jie
Fig. 2
A circle is drawn around the center of the NAC using the instrument with a diameter of 40-mm
Fig. 3
The area surrounding the pedicle is deepithelialized, leaving a 0.5- to 1-cm rim of cutaneous skin along the outer periareolar marking
Fig. 4
The instrument is positioned with the center point of the loop corresponding to the highest point of the new breast mound. The periareolar excess skin is pulled through the loop and lifted with three to five vessel forceps. The upward lifting force is equally distributed among these forceps to tighten the breast skin envelope and to ensure that the periareolar incision made along the outer edge of the loop can be closed without either undue tension or redundant skin
Fig. 5
The edge of the metal loop is delineated with methylene blue, and a circular-pattern incision is made along the marking
Fig. 6
Intraoperative shaping and positioning of the NAC using the instrument in inverted-T reduction mammaplasty
Fig. 7
A 40-year-old woman underwent vertical-scar mastopexy, during which the method was used for intraoperative shaping and positioning of the NAC. Top preoperative view. Bottom postoperative view at 3 months
