    I had coworker get breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. They made a nipple for her, I think from skin.

      Mine is also like this. During mastectomy they removed my nipples and grafted them back on. Looks perfectly natural.

        Sorry if this is too personal or anything. Feel free to ignore it, but I’m curious- do you retain sensation in them?

        Could you imagine if someone got a shitty surgeon and they grafted it back on, but just enough off-center for them to notice every time they looked in a mirror?

      Well if they used metal everyone would know.

      And be extremely jealous.
