Nipple: After 4 years I have a nipple... - My Breast Cancer ...
Nipple
Awww so pleased your pleased with it. ππ Im finally getting a new nipple in December -it will be nearly four years for me too. The reconstruction theyve done is amazing, its a long haul but worth it. ππ
Congratulations how is it done and whom.
Hi! Here is the info:
The nipple is rebuilt using a local flap, a surgical procedure in which the skin of the reconstructed breast is folded to create a nipple mount. Another option is a nipple graft, which involves taking half the nipple from the healthy, remaining breast and putting it on the reconstructed breast. The areola is reconstructed with a skin graft (from your inner thigh, abdomen or other locations), a tattoo, or both.
*My PS used a local flap and in 2 months Iβll have the areola tattooed. I live in Chicago so if you want my plastic surgeon info let me know. He is an amazing PS π
Thank you very much. Kindly give me the details of your surgeon

Congratulations! I have mine done 3 weeks ago and I love it. I had a right mastectomy and I left nipple sparing mastectomy so it looks smaller than the other one but at least I have my two nipples! In two months Iβm going to have the areola tattooed! However, my PS made the flap 30% to 40% larger than the desired final size, and still looks smaller than the other one. My PS had warned me of what might happen, itβs ok with me. Iβll have a 3D areola tattoo and Iβm pretty sure it will look similar to the other one. Happy with the results!
Good luck!
