nipple reconstruction surgery

I cannot wait to book the reconstruction surgery! I still need to wait until the end of the treatment, but I have so many worries about how it will look like after... Did anyone here did the nipple rebuilt and then tattooed with color or the three-dimensional tattoo that looks like a nipple?

Hi there! A friend of mine is also deciding between the two options. Although she has not made up her mind yet, she is leaning way from rebuilding and tattooing. Her main concern is the possibility of requiring several sessions to get the desired effect out of a dermabrasion tattoo. Hope this helps a little!

I had no idea it was even possible! I googled for images and the results are impressive: google.co.uk/search?q=nippl...

I had reconstruction then the nipple reconstructed at a later time which is very realistic and have had the colouring tattoo around which was very good but four years later I have had to have a top up !! I feel it looks very realistic indeed go with what you feel right for you. I went to a session where the surgeon showed all the procedures available and the results !!

I used to keep my nipples in a box which had my family in floods of tears laughing. I now just don't bother.😂😂
