Hey all, looking for some advice from you wonderful souls. I had a single masectomy with breast reconstruction DIEP a few weeks ago. I am just starting to feel a bit more 'normal' now and I have been thinking about nipples. Mine was removed because a previous op (lumpectomy) left too much scar tissue. I've read up on tattoos and nipple reconstruction but I'm not sure..... Can any of you share your experiences re new nipple/s and why you chose that option? Thank you
Hi
I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet and this is probably because your post has slipped off the first page before someone with the right experience has seen it. By replying to you it will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list.
While you're waiting for replies if you type 'nipple reconstruction' and 'tattoos' separately into the group search bar at the top of the screen you'll find loads of previous posts on these topics. You could have a look through some of them and reply to the more recent ones if you think the poster can help you further.
Wishing you all the best with whatever you decide to do.
