Have you ever seen a nipple graft do this before?

Asked By:MrIncognito2017 in American Canyon, CA

I had a simple mastectomy with male reconstruction and free nipple grafts. The bandages came off yesterday and we found that my left nipple has collapsed. My surgeon does not know what happened but says it's not a goner yet. I am to put daily bandages and Bactracin on it and see what happens. I am concerned that the graft has failed. Has any one seen this before and knows what happened and can the nipple be saved ?
