Description: This patient had previously undergone breast reconstruction
with silicone implants and nipple reconstruction after bilateral mastectomies.
Her nipples had flattened over time. She desired maximal natural appearance out of clothes.Dr. Lu performed a bilateral nipple reconstruction using the patient’s own skin plus Alloderm,
a human collagen product. Areolar tattooing was then performed.
The patient desired
increased projection of the reconstructed nipples, therefore Radiesse, a calcium
hydroxylapatite filler was used to plump the nipples. The patient is thrilled with her appearance.
