hello, i had a double incision procedure done in june of last year and i'm not too content with how the nipples and areolas look. i've tried looking to see if there is anyone with similar results but found none. are results like mine common? would it be possible for the grafts to be removed? or for the nipple to be reconstructed and the areola be tattooed on?
