In the event of injury during surgery, trauma or after breast cancer surgery, there is a need to reconstruct the nipple and also the areola in many cases.
In a relative simple surgical procedure the nipple can be reconstructed from the breast skin or the remaining nipple. The areolar can be either tattoed or another darker area of skin can be harvested from elsewhere on the body and used as an areola colour matched skin graft.
