Shrinking Reconstructed Nipple? Is it possible to have this operation done again, or is there a way to increase the size?

January 2, 2013
Asked By:Peglet in Sydney

I had a nipple reconstruction a couple of months ago. The method was similar to the star flap or CV flap. I loved the look of the new nipple when it was done and I was informed that it would shrink, but it is now so small I am becoming disappointed with it. Is it possible to have this operation done again, or is there a way to increase the size?? My other nipple is very large (my own). I have an appointment to see my PS in February.
