Does tissue expansion surgery work on nipples?

Question

I chemically burn my nipples 2 years ago. And Im wondering what procedure I should get to repair them.

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It is very hard to see actual "deformity" and understand what you would like to improve; your nipples look normal considering that there are so many varieties and shapes? In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would help to resolve this problem. Good luck.

Connie Hiers, MD, FACS · Answer

No, we cannot place an expander in that small area.  The scarred area could be cut out, but that would make your nipples smaller.

Douglas Taranow, DO, FACOS · Answer

Your nipples look fine now.  The one side has a transverse crease.  If this bothers you, a nipple release procedure (usually used for inverted nipples) may be performed in the office under local anesthesia.
