Nipple Reconstruction
Nipple reconstruction surgery is performed in which a surgeon rearranges a nipple following mastectomy or breast surgery. After the mastectomy, a person decides to perform breast and nipple reconstruction surgery. Some may have breast reconstruction, but not nipple restructuring. Other choices include getting a prosthetic breast or just "going flat."
There are a variety of specific forms of nipple reconstruction surgery. Surgeons can take into consideration people's condition and individual interests when advising on which approach is best suited.
Reconstruction of skin flap- A surgeon may lift small skin flaps from all over the region where the nipple is to be placed. They will then fold and sew these skin flaps above the level of the surrounding tissue together, forming a bump that will become a new nipple.
Medical Tattooing- Until cured, a person can choose to have a clinical tattoo on the top of a reconstructed nipple to make it appear more natural. This will help to create a pigmented areola.
Reconstruction of the skin graft- To make a nipple from a skin grafting, a surgeon can take a small amount of skin from another area of the body — such as the inner thigh, abdomen, or buttocks — to make an areola. Depending on the amount of skin tissue available, it may be possible to create a nipple from the skin of the breast mound.
As the nipple recovers, it could look more upright than normal, but over the period it ought to be a little better. People should also anticipate some kind of tenderness in the new nipple as it recovers.
