Do you think my nipples are healing correctly? (Photo)

Asked By:Cierra_milton in Sacramento, CA

I am 12 days post op from top surgery. I wore the post op binder 24/7 for 11 days after surgery. Once I had the dressings removed from my nipples they felt great. The next day my nipples feel extremely sensitive. Sort of like road rash would feel when touched by clothing. I no longer feel the random tingling/needle prick pain I was feeling before. I am not sure if the feeling is normal or not. Some of the skin also seems to be peeling off and they are looking pretty gross. I’m worried that they might fall off or the graft is failing.
