I have just had my nipple made on my reconstructed Breast. The flap it was made from was from my back. The nipple looks like it is too far to the side. I have measured it from the centre of my chest and it is just over a centimetre more to the side than the other breast. Would there be any reason the surgeon has done this?? Can this be fixed?? I was so looking forward to having the nipple op and having a more normal looking breast. Thank you in advance for any advice
