My left nipple died back in February after an FTM mastectomy. Another patient of my surgeon lost his nipple this week with the same procedure. We both had to do revisions because the doctor tried to use a periareolar technique and our breasts were medium, so there was a lot of skin and fat after the first surgery. I remember when my nipple died, he said it was a common thing and I would like to know: What is the real percentage of nipple necrosis?
