The full nipple-areolar complex of dogs has been successfully removed, cryopreserved using a controlled-rate freeze protocol, and reimplanted without loss of viability. The technique for reimplantation calls for the use of a new fixed double bolus technique that prevented dislodging or contamination in all but 2 cases. The feasibility of performing this procedure in humans is discussed.
