Hi, all, I hope someone out there will be able to answer my query.... I had nipple reconstruction 11 days ago and dressings removed two days ago. My beloved surgeon was away so a junior member of his team saw me. The new nipple is black down one side and he suspects necrosis but I'm going back in a week for my surgeon to take a look. In the meantime, can anyone tell me what the implications are? If it becomes completely necrotic will it just drop off? Is there any chance it could spread to the reconstructed (silicone implant) breast? I hadn't anticipated this problem and was rather rushed out the door so didn't ask these questions. I've emailed my BCN but no reply after 2 days.... There doesn't seem to be much info about this on the net generally but I know there will be lots of you out there who've had this experience! All the best S
