Filler for failed nipple reconstruction?

July 15, 2014
Asked By:DawninAustin in Austin, TX

Thank you for opportunity to post a question. I'm 3 years out from prophylactic skin sparing bilateral mastectomy with nipple reconstruction utilizing the nipple reconstruction cylinder. Although the cylinder technology seemed promising unfortunately, they haven't maintained projection.I'm wondering if products such as Radiesse, and others may be an option to gain projection. Are these products approved for this type of use and what are the potential risks? Thank you!
