Nipple & Areola Repair After Nipple Sparing Mastectomy and Necrosis? I had bilateral a nipple sparing mastectomy done in November - it was an one-step to Alloderm procedure. Shortly after the surgery I developed superficial necrosis of left areola and right nipple & areola. The result is that the right nipple is not visible anymore(flat). The skin looks red and unnatural. Is there any solution to this problem? Also the shape of the breasts is uneven and they look very unnatural. How long should I wait until seing the final result?

A: problems after reconstruction

The nipples can in many cases be reconstructed with local skin, grafts, and/or tattooing. The breasts should be healed enough at this point to make a determination regarding a revision to improve results.

My Nipples Have Gotten Bigger With Age, How Can I Correct This? I Have Always Had Beautiful Breasts with Normal Size Nipples. Now That I'm in my Late 40's I have some sagging but my nipples are HUGE! They're the same size but I've even tried to cover then up with bandaids. I Thank God everyday I have my healthy breasts but this nipple problem has definately caused me some distress. Especially when gentlemen gawk at them. Thank You for any input I recieve.

A: nipple and/or areola reduction for large nipples

Thank you for your question. I understand your concern.

Fortunately, nipple reduction is typically a straightforward procedure that can often be done on an outpatient basis as a clinic procedure under local anesthetic. If that make you squeamish, IV sedation can also be done. You are the one seeking services and have some choices in how things are done.

You shouldn't have to be self-conscious every time you go out of the house. I recommend you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area for a consultation and evaluation. Ask a lot of questions so that you can make an informed decision and feel comfortable moving forward.

I hope this helps.
