The first step in nipple reconstruction from our Manhattan office involves a consultation with Dr. Henderson. During this consultation, he will evaluate your individual needs and goals, discuss your medical history, and explain the various options available for nipple reconstruction. Our team strives to work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan as if it were our own, and one that is tailored to achieve the desired outcomes in every possible way.
On the day of nipple reconstruction surgery, you will arrive at the surgical center and meet with Dr. Henderson, who will review the details of your procedure.
Dr. Henderson will then proceed with the planned technique for nipple reconstruction, which may involve using local tissue flaps, skin grafts, or nipple prostheses. The surgery typically takes a few hours, depending on the complexity of the reconstruction. After the procedure, you will be taken to a recovery area where you will be monitored closely as you wake up from anesthesia. Once you are stable, you may be discharged home on the same day or stay overnight for observation, depending on our team’s recommendations and your individual recovery needs.
After nipple reconstruction, you can expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the surgical sites. Depending on the complexity we may ask that you wear a supportive bra, avoid strenuous activities, and keep the surgical area clean and dry. You may also have some restrictions on arm movement to prevent strain on the surgical site. Over time, swelling and bruising will gradually subside, and you will notice the appearance of your reconstructed nipple improving.
