This is what my areola looks like now, continuing proper wound cleaning and antibiotics. I see my ps twice a week and it seems like there's no infection. Any Thoughts of the progress or no progress. Any thoughts on skin grafting?

Answer: Nipple/Areola Necrosis It is good that you are continuing to see your plastic surgeon on a regular basis. I would recommend you continue with your wound care regimen as recommended by your surgeon.The wound over time will contract and get smaller as it begins to fill in over time. It will require some time, difficult to say how long, so patient and frequent follow ups are needed.Hope that helps.

Answer: Wound healing From the looks of it, it seems that there were some wound healing problems. I don't know why you had this problem but I recommend that it should be to debrided and local wound care should be implemented. A board-certified plastic surgeon should be very competent and familiar on how to fix this.
