Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Nipple Reconstruction Surgery.
The procedure typically lasts forty-five to ninety minutes depending on complexity. Most patients resume light activity within a few days, with final healing and appearance developing over three to six months. We provide clear post-op instructions and scheduled follow-up care.
Sensation changes are common, especially after mastectomy. Nipple reconstruction restores appearance rather than nerve function; some patients regain partial sensitivity over months, but permanent numbness is possible. We'll review your history and set realistic expectations, adjusting techniques when nerve preservation is feasible.
Areola tattooing (medical micropigmentation) is usually deferred until the reconstructed nipple is fully healed, typically three to six months post-surgery. Tattooing enhances color and symmetry; we coordinate timing to optimize pigment longevity and scar maturation for the best aesthetic match.
Small, well-placed scars are part of nipple reconstruction. Dr. Javaheri uses refined incision patterns and precise closure techniques to minimize visibility and strategically place scars within natural contours. Scars typically soften and fade over months; scar care improves healing.
Ideal candidates have completed primary breast reconstruction and are in good overall health with stable healing and realistic expectations. Those seeking improved symmetry, projection, and aesthetic completion after mastectomy or reconstruction typically benefit; a consultation confirms suitability and timing.
Risks include infection, delayed healing, poor wound closure, asymmetry, loss of projection, and pigment changes if tattooing is performed. Complication rates are low with experienced surgeons; preoperative assessment, sterile technique, and follow-up care reduce risks and enable prompt management.
