I just had a breast reduction with a free nipple graft a week ago and I feel like its soo ugly..I've been crying every since...and i feel like he took to much breast tissue in the front and left me with big ass side boobs.

Give it time, once you start healing it all falls in place and it's going to look great.

Hey hun. Be encouraged. As msMM66 said; give yourself time to heal and allow the swelling to go down and everything should fall into place.

Agreed. Give your new breast time to heal. You will be happy you got the reduction.

Hang in there! You've been through a lot of chest trauma and it needs time. I haven't seen a boob job of any kind look GREAT in the beginning, but over time they change so much! Just take care of those incisions and report any problems or concerns ASAP to your doc.

Trust the process. I know that seems impossible, but from a strangers perspective they look really good this soon after! I think once you've healed a bit more you will be happier.

It still kinda seems like you can see where the nipple is supposed to be. Have you asked your surgeon? I'm glad you're feeling more comfortable!

Not that's you should have to go to a tattoo artist to fix your doctors work but that is an option . There are tattoo artists that specialize in reconstructing a nipple for patients. I hope they continue to heal in your favor. Good luck

It appears that your nipples died! Was that part of the plan? I would think not! Dr Dubrow on the show Botched always talks about that being a scary risk of surgery. Your surgeon should have been very alarmed.

No, they haven’t died. It’s a side effect of FNG. A lot of women get a tatoo artist to color them in, and it’s very realistic. It’s also very soon and you”re still healing. I think you look great! Give it time

I had breast lift with implants and lost both of my nipples. This can happen when the blood supply is cutoff. Rare but can happen. I had to have them tattooed. Not what I signed up for when I had surgery. Always do your research. I have spent so many thousands of dollars trying to get the best look from a botched outcome. Ruined my tummy tuck too. Good luck to you!!
