FTM Top Surgery No nipple reconstruction fee - does it cost less? Planning on going without nipples anyway. I'm heavily tattooed and will be on my chest as well eventually so I see no reason for them. Would like to know if that will end up saving me money. Saving up is taking awhile..
Answer: DI w/o free NG Hi,Thanks for the post. Interesting question. In my practice it would be cheaper without the nipple grafts because it is less OR and anesthesia time. However, not by much. Furthermore, I highly recommend you make this decision carefully and not jus on the little bit of money you might save. That cost difference over the course of your life is minimal. If you realize you made a mistake and want nipples and areolas, that cost will be much more, and would likely never look and feel the way yor natural areolas and nipples would be.Sincerely,Dr. Dadvand

Answer: No Difference In my practice there would be no difference in cost. I recommend you attempt to preserve the nipples because any further reconstruction or tattoo attempt will not match the appearance of a natural nipple. Best of luck!
