LEARN MORE ABOUT NIPPLE AND AREOLA RECONSTRUCTION

Nipple reconstruction is the recreation of a nipple and/or areola in the most protruding portion of the breast mound.

WHY CONSIDER A NIPPLE AND AREOLA RECONSTRUCTION?

The new nipple is usually created from the skin of the reconstructed breast mound. The areola is reconstructed with a skin graft, which can be removed from the inside of the thigh or abdomen. The incision is well hidden, but it is more painful and slower to heal because it is in an uncomfortable place in the crease where the thigh joins the pubic area. Care should be taken not to harvest this skin from an area that has a lot of hair to avoid transferring it to the wall of your chest.

  • The last step in breast reconstruction.
  • Overall satisfaction.
  • Acceptance of body image.
  • Significantly increases the reconstructive result.
  • It is usually done between three and six months after primary reconstruction.
  • Outpatient procedure.
  • Requires less than an hour to complete.
