Nipple Reconstruction

Breast restoration may include the need for nipple reconstruction. Nipple reconstruction uses small, local skin flaps and fat that are pulled from the breast mound. This creates a projecting nub which has a more natural breast appearance.

Nipple reconstruction is not mandatory, and some patients choose not to undergo this final stage of breast reconstruction. However, patients are encouraged to undergo nipple reconstruction because it adds so much to the appearance of the breast. Nipple reconstructions are also covered by your insurance.
