Title: Nipple question
Post by: JayDawg on October 15, 2014, 08:37:07 PM
I'm scheduled for double incision top surgery on December 17.

My understanding is, you do NOT get nipple sensation back with nipple grafts, ever. My nipples are too large, and I want to do away with them completely; just have small areolas. My reasoning being that I hate the high-beams through shirts, and I've never much enjoyed them sexually, either. I do want the areolas for appearance, and perhaps have a small nipple tattooed on them later if I feel the need.

My surgeon says he uses a quarter to trim the areola, which I think is too large. I'm thinking nickle size.

I would really appreciate reading your experience with your grafts and nipple size,  appearance, and behavior.

Thanks!
-Jay

It depends on the shape of your chest, maybe?  I'd say mine were the size of a nickel, though - definitely not as large as a quarter.

Nickel sounds about right. Not that there aren't dudes out there with quarter-sized, sure there are, but I wouldn't have been happy with that as a surgical result.

My whole nipple and arealoa is a quarter size. Just the nipple is a little bigger than the end of a pencil.
