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.
Answer: Nipple Reconstruction Nipple Reconstruction is something that can be performed as a short, in-office procedure. It takes about 30 minutes (per side). This is done by making small incisions in the skin and folding the skin to create the projection. About 6-8 weeks after nipple reconstruction has been performed, patients are able to have aerola tattoos.

Answer: Nipple reconstruction Nipple reconstruction is typically performed at the end of a reconstructive surgery. This places the nipple on the position centered on the implant.

Answer: Nipple reconstruction Nipple areolar complex reconstruction is the final crucial step in breast reconstruction. Typically, the nipple reconstruction is performed using the patient's own tissue via local flap. This is followed by tattoo approximately 6 weeks later. Fat, fillers, dermal grafts can often be used to improve nipple projection over time (they will often settle). As always, consult with your board certified plastic surgeon before making any decision.

Answer: Nipple implants Hi there,I think your question is great. As best I know there is no nipple projections on breast implants. It would be hard to get enough projection through the skin. If it poked up too much it would likely erode the skin.Typically nipple reconstruction is done with your own skin. Flaps of skin are elevated and turned on themselves. In order to create lasting elevations I usually sit this on a platform of deepithelialized skin. There are other tricks we use to help things look natural and maintain their projections.
