What are my options after failed inverted nipple repair surgery?

April 4, 2022
Asked By:malibu2327 in Ashley, Ohio

I had an inverted nipple repair procedure that led to both nipples turning black and loss of nipple tissue. Before the procedure I could manually push the nipples out, but now it appears that there are only areolas with an empty hole in the middle as now there is no nipple tissue that can be pushed out. What could have caused this? Are there any options for repair or reconstruction?
