I was told that because of my large breast size(measurement 15 from crease underneath to nipple, im guessing they used cm) that I would have to have my nipple removed or I may end of losing it due to tissue death. Is this true? Is there a way I can get a reduction with my nipple repositioned instead of removed? Thanks

Answer: Free nipple grafting Nipple removal and grafting is only used in patients with an extremely long nipple to inframammary-mammary crease distance. In order to appropriately position the nipple, it must be removed and replaced as a graft. Nipple necrosis and sloughing is a risk in either type of procedure. Discuss your concerns with your surgeon so that you can have a better understanding of the procedure, the reasons which might necessitate it and the risks.

Answer: Breast reduction Photos are essential for a question like this. I will say that free nipple grafting today is extremely unusual but there is still a place for it. Even if it is done the complication you're describing can happen book is extremely unusual.
