5 weeks postop and it looks like my left nipple graft is not taking in some areas. ive marked these areas with arrows. they look like yellowish crusty scabs that didn't heal properly. do you think it can eventually fully heal like the rest of the nipple and how my right nipple has healed? if not, what can be done to fix it in the future? would these areas have to be cut out and then allow the skin to try and heal again? or what are the other options if these areas don't heal correctly? thanks.
