Anyone not done nipple reconstruction?

[crb]

I have my bmx coming up June 20. She is doing skin sparing, but taking the nipple on the affected side. I have heard that reconstructed nipples are firm and you don't have sensation. Wondering if there were no nipples, then perhaps going bra-less (or wearing one w/out padding) might be an option?

Would it be crazy to tell her to take them both and go with nothing other than implants?

All I have are the implants. No nipples and no reason to wear a bra. I wear one anyway tho, seems like a normal thing to do and adds cleavage. No sensation and no "headlights" that are always "on". No regrets either.

I am a Padiddle.

Did the nipple thing and at first they were huge and firm but did soften over time. Could go bra less without headlights. Areola tatoos never took. They faded and I never went back. I feel kind of 50/50 on the whole thing. Wouldn't miss them much if they weren't there but doesn't bother me that I have them.

What is a padiddle. Medical term???

LOL...I had to Google "Padiddle"! Looks like it is from a game where you spot the car with one headlight :)

I had my nipples done, they aren't hard but do have to wear a bra with tight fitting shirts or else show the headlights.
