Nipple loss after male breast reduction after massive weight loss surgery

Don't lose hope!! There are several very good options. Based on this single picture, I would suggest nipple and areolar reconstruction. The areola is the pigmented skin around the nipple. The surgery that I would suggest re-creates both the nipple and areola by taking a small quarter-sized skin graft from another area of your body. With this skin graft and using the remainder of your nipple, you should obtain "acceptable"... more

Plastic Surgery after weigh loss

Sorry about your results. Being both US and Mexican doctor I can tell you the most important is to choose your doctor no where you have your surgery done. It is important to examine both breast and either skin graft or pigmentation needs to be done to improved your condition

Scars

Most probably the scars can be improved on. The picture posted is not clear. need an examination to determine the scar, the laxity of skin and the nipples. It looks that you already have lost the nipple at least on the pictures you posted
