Nipple reconstruction

After a breast reconstruction has been performed, the nipple will be reconstructed using a small flap of skin so that it matches the nipple on the other breast. A few months after the procedure, the nipple and areola will be tattooed to give them a more natural colour and to hide the scarring.

Consecutive steps in breast reconstruction: 1: Post mastectomy. 2: Post breast reconstruction. 3: Post nipple reconstruction. 4: Post tattoo of the nipple-areola-complex.
