Hi Frankie.

No radiation. I’m not sure if nipple reconstruction on the radiated side is okay or not. If you can’t do it, the 3D tattoos are fabulous, do one of them instead.

One surgeon told me not to do nipple reconstruction on the radiated side. Just wondering if you’d had that done as yours look amazing !!!

When I had mine done, they harvested rib cartilage during my DIEP procedure and stored it on my hips. When I had my revision surgery, which is when they also constructed my nipples, they removed the rib cartilage and used them to form my nipples. I freaked when I work up…they were so long I swear I could press the buttons in the elevator with the. My doc said they would go down, and they did. I always look happy to see people, 😉 but they are not ridiculously long anymore.

Literally right there on the breast. A flap is cut, one side still attached, it’s twisted into shape and sewn up again in the same place.
