Breast nipple reconstruction surgery is a process of rebuilding the nipple on the top of the breast. It can be the final job in the breast reconstruction procedure after cancer treatment. For the surgery, skin for the new nipple to be formed is usually taken from the thigh, buttocks, breast mound, or stomach. The shape, color, and size of the new nipple can be made exactly similar to the original one and so it is important for a patient to be in touch with the surgeon who performs the operation.
There are various types of nipple reconstruction procedures and a person’s preference and physical condition are taken into account before selecting a suitable one. The different types of reconstruction methods are as follows.
- Skin flap reconstruction – in this method, small flaps of skin are taken from near the area where the new nipple is to be located. The flaps are folded and sewn over the level of the skin so that there is a bump that will be the new nipple. There have been doubts cast on this technique as the nipple can flatten or retract over time and hence other methods can be chosen.
- Skin graft reconstruction – The areola is created in this process by taking skin from the buttocks, thigh, or stomach whereas the nipple is made from the skin in the breast. Some studies have indicated it as the best technique as the color and texture can match perfectly.
- Medical tattooing – A medical tattoo can resemble a pigmented areola on the top of a reconstructed nipple. There has been a lot of development in the medical tattoo so that a lot of options can be available.
However, the fact remains that nipple reconstruction can be done with sufficient ease and to a patient’s preference.

Hello, my younger brother(bdw he is 24 years young) had an bike accident and he injured his leg. Doctor at a well-known hospital informed us that his leg might need amputation due to growing infection. We were terrified. After suggestion from a family member we admitted him to Elegance clinic under the Observation of Dr Ashutosh Shah. I must say he is an excellent surgeon. From the condition where my brother's leg need amputation to now where he can walk on both his legs. The Surgery was major, difficult but was successful. The doctors are amazing at their work. They provide personal attention as if patient is their own family member. Facility is well equipped with necessary instruments. Dr Chetan Patil also observing my brother used to conduct home visit regularly for dressing and check ups. We are really thankful to all doctors, nursing staff and management that my brother is able to walk on both his leg today. I really recommend Dr Ashutosh Shah and Elegance.
