Before and after nipple and areola reconstruction in a 58 year old woman.  She previously had reconstruction with an implant and did not have nipple or areola reconstruction.  She was converting her implant based reconstruction to a DIEP flap. 

To reconstruct her right nipple, a free graft was taken from her left breast and transplanted to the right in a “nipple sharing” procedure.  Medical tattoo reconstructed her areola.  Follow up photos are shown three months postoperatively.
