Has anybody who has had their nipple reconstructed had it altered after it was done. I had mine done beginning Dec and I know they have to settle but I don’t have a problem with the size. And looking straight into the mirror its a pretty good result. But I hate it looking down at it as it does not look in the right spot at all then and to me looks really wierd. Having been through 4 surgeries upto my mx then a diep and later uplift to other breast and lipo on recon once settled, it seems so trivial a thing to be bothering about but its getting me down.
Am I just daft and do you get used to it, I’m still putting on the dressings so that I don’t have to look at it at the moment
If you are not happy with the end result, do have a chat with your PS to see what can be done. You have been through a hell of a lot of surgeries, so you want things to look right don’t you.
Nipple recons can look odd. Mine was done 14 months ago and for ages, it was so large and erect!. Now it has shrunk and is very flat. I had the areola tatooed 10 months ago, but i want it topping up, as it has faded considerably now.
We deserve to be happy with the final result and if you are not, let your PS know, - he may able to do something for you. That said, it is still earlys for you , so maybe give it a chance to settle and see how you feel?
