What Is Nipple Reconstruction?

Nipple reconstruction is typically performed on women who have lost a nipple to mastectomy or lumpectomy. For many women who undergo breast reconstruction, the process is not complete without the inclusion of a new nipple. It often represents the end of a long, healing journey, making it one of the most rewarding parts of reconstruction.

Although most nipple reconstruction patients undergo the procedure as part of breast reconstruction, the operation can also be used to help burn victims or people with other damage to their nipples. Regardless of the reason for the procedure, various techniques are available, which is why you should make sure to speak to a board-certified surgeon about your options for nipple reconstruction.

Nipple Reconstruction in St. Louis, MO

What Is a Nipple Reconstruction Procedure?

Nipple reconstruction can be performed utilizing a variety of techniques. The appropriate option for you will be determined by a number of factors, including the type of breast reconstruction being performed and the size and appearance of the areola and nipple on the opposite breast. Pigment may be added using a medical tattoo device that significantly improves the cosmetic result.

The timing of the nipple reconstruction also varies from patient to patient. Nipple reconstruction in St. Louis can be performed during breast reconstruction or as a follow-up procedure.

Patient Reviews

“I went to Dr. McGuire for a consultation to have my breast implants removed and the possibility of a lift. From the moment she came in the room I knew she would be my doctor. She listened to all of my wants, concerns and thoughts and answered the large majority of my questions before I even had to ask. Her knowledge and straightforwardness is what sold me on her being my doctor. I truly appreciate doctors that don’t sugarcoat or skim over my questions and Dr. McGuire did neither of those…” - Tiffany L.

What Does Nipple Reconstruction Recovery Entail?

After your nipple reconstruction, you will need to wear a surgical or sports bra for about a week or two. You also should be prepared for a significant decrease in your nipple sensation. Most patients can return to work in about a week.
