Re: Nipple reconstruction

Suzanne,
Can you tell me alittle bit about the procedure . I have a follow up in July. My surgery is a perfectionist, they referred to him at the hospital as the artist which is great. He wants to make sure that I am even and such in 2 months before the nipple. Did you have a local or general? How do you look, etc. If I am being to personal I apologize. My scar seems kind of high but looks so much better since he removed it, my new scar is so much smaller. I just wanted to compare notes.
