Nipple reconstruction - can they be made to look more protruding and natural? (Photo)

June 24, 2025
Asked By:breezybee07

I received a nipple reduction due to pain & changes with my nipples after breast feeding. The doctor made it worse by leaving me with barely any nipple left and very visible scarring. I regret the procedure entirely and hope that there’s something that can be done to fix this. Tattooing over my scars has not helped much. Is there something that can be done to make the nipple protrude more so it can look more normal?
