I had a breast reduction on Dec 4, 2009, and unfortunately, the left side had a major complication. The right breast has healed beautifully, but the left lost blood flow to the nipple. Today I had a left nipple debridement to remove the dead tissue. In a few months, after it heals, I will have a nipple graft. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and am trying to find out how the breast will look after the graft? The doctor says that it will be acceptable and similar in appearance to my natural nipple on the right, only with no sensation or function. I am trying to find support through this but I don't know of anyone who has had this issue. Any information will be greatly appreciated!:-)
