Nipple reconstruction
Re: Nipple reconstruction
Ive had nipple recon and no problems with mine. Compared with other surgeries it was easy. Surely it wouldnt take much to fix. Try not to be too downhearted.

Re: Nipple reconstruction
Hello
I had so many complications with my Tram Flap reconstructions: skin grafts, breast reduction on other side to even up, over 6 months, that I decided not to bother with the nipple reconstruction. I only notice it when naked.

Nipple reconstruction
Had a bad day today guys, went in for my post op appointment following nipple reconstruction and I don’t think one of them isnt looking too good. I think the blood supply isn’t there. I can’t help but feel deflated, I felt like it was all almost over and could see the end in sight. Now everytime I think about it I just get sad.
Does anyone have any experience with these not going so well? What happened following the failed reconstruction?
I go in again next week for another check up.
