About Nipple Implants Surgery

Breast reconstruction procedures are frequently carried out after the mastectomy procedure. The last two stages of breast reconstruction are tattooing and nipple-areola complex (NAC) rebuilding.
The method for NAC reconstruction is frequently disregarded and is currently seen as an unmet need. It should be viewed as a crucial component of breast reconstruction surgery, nevertheless. It provides women with a significant psychological contribution to the breast reconstruction operation and promotes increased sexual behaviour and high levels of satisfaction following the procedure, which improves general well-being and sense of self in women.
