Is the nipple always removed completely from the breast before being reattached?
Answer: Removal of nipple
Most surgeries on the breast do not change the nipple itself. If you want an actual reduction of the nipple, this can be done without removing the nipple. Only for very large breast reductions may the areolae (flatter brown tissue surrounding the nipple) be removed and then sewn back on as a graft. This grafting, however, is the exception and not the normal procedure for breast reductions.

Answer: Nipple most commonly stays attached In most instances the nipple is left attached to the breast tissue and gland and the skin is moved around the nipple or the noipple is rearranged within the "skin envelope."

Answer: Nipple Removal The nipple is seldom removed before any surgery, including breast lift, reduction and augmentation. In a lift or a reduction the nipple is left intact to the underlying breast tissue and it is kept on this platform so that it can survive. The the surrounding skin and breast tissue is contoured and then the area is closed. Only in very very large reductions is the nipple removed and then placed back on. Even this has become very pase' as there are better techniques to allow the nipple to remain attached even in very large breast reductions. Hope that helps.

Answer: Nipple is rarely 'removed' during breast reduction or lift The nipple/areolar complex is rarely 'removed' during breast reduction or lift. With current techniques for breast reduction and lift, the nipple areolar complex is kept attached to the underlying breast tissue to provide blood supply. The surrounding skin is removed and tailored. Rarely would a 'free' nipple graft be performed, perhaps in a very large, pendulous reduction or in a situation where the blood supply is compromised.
