Nipple and areola reconstruction procedure

At Horizons Center, we take a meticulous approach to nipple and areola reconstruction to ensure satisfactory results:

1. Initial evaluation: We discuss the patient’s expectations after confirming that the reconstructed breast has completed healing (usually 3-6 months after breast reconstruction).
2. Anesthesia: We use local anesthesia in most cases, with mild sedation if necessary, to ensure the patient’s comfort during the procedure.
3. Nipple reconstruction: We use the local skin from the breast to shape the nipple (such as the local flap technique), or we take a skin graft from another area if necessary.
4. Reconstructing the areola: We create the areola either by using a skin graft from a darker area (such as the thigh) or through medical tattoos to color the area with a matching natural color.
5. Follow-up and care: We apply a light bandage, and provide care instructions such as avoiding pressure on the nipple, keeping the area clean, and following up on wound healing within two weeks.
   Our goal is to achieve a natural, harmonious look that boosts self-confidence.
