Breast reconstruction also includes the need for nipple reconstruction.
For nipple reconstruction, small, local flaps of skin and fat are pulled up from the breast mound creating a projecting nub. This is successful in creating a more natural breast appearance.
Nipple reconstruction is not a mandatory step in the breast reconstruction process. There are women who choose to not undergo this final stage of the breast restoration process.
However, nipple reconstruction is generally encouraged for breast reconstruction patients as adds so much to the appearance of the breast.
It should be noted that nipple reconstructions are also covered by your insurance.
