Subject 320 - A "snoopy" effect
A breast with a prominent nipple-aereolar complex often looks like the comic character "Snoopy." (From: The "Donut" Mastopexy by Gruber and Jones, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Volume 63, page 35, January 1980).
This "Snoopy" deformity is generally "improveable" but not necessarily completely correctable. In this particular case more improvement would have been possible with a "donut" mastopexy but the patient was pleased with the appearance of her breast after augmentation and elected against any further treatment.
