Answer: Yes there are options
in addition to surgical choices, simple tatto of the area to mimic an areola may be reasonable (its done routinely after areolas are removed for cancer), as for the nipple a quick way to get some semblance of projection with little risk is using an injectable, preferably "radiesse" to form a mound under the skin. this can be done without tatto for temporary nipple projection while you consider other more permanent options for surgery. good luck. of course nothing should be done especially tatto until you have consulted with an board certified plastic surgeon to make sure you are making a good choice. good luck and remember scars get better and better with time. even at 1 and 1/2 years out. don't rush into anything.

Answer: Nipple reconstruction
If you have lsot your nipple after a breast reduction and now are about one year out from the surgery, you may be a candidate for reconstruction of the nipple and areola.

Answer: Breast reduction A nipple reconstruction with ratio for color can frequently be performed. Usually after a year the scar has softened up enough.
