Botched nipple grafts - is there a procedure to fix this?

March 3, 2024
Asked By:dixic112 in Redlands, California

I got masculinizing chest surgery (double mastectomy) in 2022 by a surgeon whose results looked good at first, but as the scars healed, the nipple grafts never looked remotely normal or natural. The placement is fine, but the appearance is wonky. I moved away for school reasons and have not had the opportunity to speak with the surgeon since. Is there a procedure to fix botched/unnatural looking nipple grafts? Thanks in advance.
