Can nipple length be a risk to successful nipple grafts?

Hi,
In a healthy non-smoker, nipple grafts very rarely fail. The main problem with grafts is you don't always get much nipple projection or sensation.
I usually, however, do a nipple "pedicle" technique that keeps the nipple blood supply intact and reduces these problems.

Hi there thanks for your question. The chances of graft loss is very minimal around less than 5%. In patients with other comorbidities, smokers and those with larger nipple the chances of partial necrosis is slightly higher.   

hello redbulladdict  Personally, I frequently use liposuction along with the double incision for larger breasts and some variation for smaller breasts depending upon the position of the Areola. And the female breast the nipple is often centered on the breast but in the male patient the nipple and Areola islower and closer to the outside edge of the pectoralis muscle.  #nipples #pre-op
