yp_saqqara_hannibal 		I am suppose to have a Mastectomy?
If the Dr. removes the nipple, what are my options? I have heard of tattoos and making a nipple. I am over 50, but I still have a hard time thinking of nothing there.

im not trying to be funny but i thought ive seen specials on tv where they remove the nipples through laser surgery and then put them back. maybe that was when the woman got implants but wouldnt that be able to still be applied? (no pun intended)

my mother is more than likely going to have to have this done. She just completed her chemo and was moving towards radiation and her path reports came back bad...the way i understand it they are able to reconstruct the breast as well as the nipple to make it very close to your original breast (this includes th nipple..) ..as with anything else you should speak with several plastics specialist to see what exactly your options are, ask to see before and after pictures of previous patients..most if not all should have them available for you. Good luck! Be brave!!

I had a bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction after everything was healed the plastic surgeon makes your nipples from existing skin on your new breast....called a batwing prcedure?? They look almost natural and even better once they tattoo them.

Insurance now days is suppose to cover reconstructive surgery. I think a tattoo is about the only realist option for the aereola (area around the nipple). As for the actual nipple it should be able to be resconstructed.

In my case the Dr reconstructed my "nipples" during my second surgery. I then received tattoos after that had healed. I'm very happy with the way they look, and my husband, whom I met after the procedures, has never complained either. A little note, I was a 28 yr old single mom when I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had my mastectomies, I am now 33, married, and have a wonderful bonus daughter, plus gave birth to a wonderful little miracle boy 14 months ago. Whatever you decide, talk to your health care providers and your support staff. The more informed you are, the happier you will be with your choices. And remember, there IS life after cancer!!


Denisedds
Often at the time of mastectomy tissue expanders will be placed and a few months later reconstructive surgery will be done. At that time the doctor will create a nipple from tissue from another part of your body and attach it to the breast. After this has healed, usually 3 months or so, they will tattoo the new nipple to make it a similar color as a natural nipple.

Many years ago the patient’s nipple was reattached, but we found this often lead to recurrence and therefore this practice was stopped.
