Are There Nipple Implants for Breast Reconstruction?

March 18, 2009
Asked By:Cyrensong in pennsylvania

Are there nipple implants or cohesive gel implants (formed) that are made with a shape that could create a more normal looking breast/nipple? It would seem better to have a whole breast shape with a protruded areola and nipple bump for people who are undergoing total breast reconstruction.
