Nipple Repair Surgery In Mishawaka

Areola Reconstruction Surgery

Nipple or areola reconstruction is performed at least two months after the initial reconstructive surgery is completed. This procedure is done at The Centre, P.C. office under local anesthesia. The procedure takes about a half an hour.

During this procedure, your plastic surgeon will take your breast tissue and turn it up on itself to make the protrusion of the nipple.

After about two to three months, after your new nipple has healed, you may have the nipple tattooed to resemble a more natural look. The tattooing, or micro pigmentation, may not be covered by your medical insurance.

Our expert staff can help determine your eligibility for reconstructive procedures.
