Nipple surgery - what are the best options that can last the rest of my life? (Photo)

Question

I'm in the NYC area and had gynecomastia surgery more than 10 yrs ago. Prior to the surgery my nipples were pretty flat/slightly inverted. I'm now interested in getting surgery to make my nipples more pronounced (i've seen a star technique and cartilage option out there). I'm already set on doing it and interested in doing this before the end of the year. What are the best options today that can last the rest of my life? What are the costs? How long is the recovery?

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

There are several procedures that may be considered for nipple reconstruction in your case; all of them are based on the use of local tissue from nipple/areola to build nipples. This can be done in local anesthesia. In-person or telemedicine consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is recommended. Good luck.

Dear gambit1914,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
