About Nipple Reconstruction

Nipple reconstruction is a surgical procedure that recreates the nipple and areola tissue called nipple-areola complex. The reconstruction procedure is usually done as the final step of breast reconstruction surgery. Women seeking a nipple reconstruction usually have lost their nipple-areola complex with a mastectomy.

As with breast reconstruction, the best candidates are women whose cancer seems to have been eliminated with removal of the breast. This procedure is usually covered by most insurance providers.


What to Expect

The procedure is usually done as outpatient under local anesthesia. A "nipple mound" is created using your own chest tissue. The areola surrounding the nipple is tattooed to achieve the desired color.

Results

Your reconstructed nipple and surrounding areola may not look 100% natural. However, like with breast augmentation in Baltimore, most women who have this procedure done say the psychological benefits are significant.
