Frequently asked questions

Why consider a nipple prosthese as an alternative to surgical nipple reconstruction?

In many cases, surgical nipple reconstructions are not always the most suitable choice, as they bring various challenges. The skin of the reconstructed breast may be too tight or damaged after radiotherapy, making further surgeries or areola tattoos more difficult.

Performing a surgical reconstruction often requires a long healing processes ,delays in the recovery process and can increase the emotional burden for the patient. After a successful reconstruction, there is often a risk of recurrence or failure with the reconstructive nipples. This can lead to disappointment and the need to repeat the procedures, which further prolongs the recovery process.
It is known that the color of an areola tattoo can fade over time, sometimes after just one year. This concretely means that patients must undergo regular maintenance treatments to maintain the desired aesthetic result.
