Nipple Sloughed Off From Necrosis Following Mastopexy.....normal? (photo) [graphic]

I had mini mastopexy on Dec. 14th. I can clearly see the left nipple has necrosed and sloughed off but my doctor keeps reassuring that this is normal and everything will heal perfectly. I am 25, non-smoker, and healthy. Why did this happen? My left breast is still painful compared to the right one. Surgeon said he had to dissect the left side more which is why it was more “beat up”. Will my nipple eventually heal and look normal or do I have more surgeries in my future?
