You've Got To Have a Nipple Or Two!

Well it's been a little while since my last post. I seem to have been extremely busy getting on with lots of things so I intend to post about three different things this weekend.

Firstly, my very long overdue post about my new nipple.
At the end of August my daughter and myself went to my plastic surgeon's rooms at Bowen Hospital to have my old/new nipple grafted on. It was really quite funny as my surgeon held up the lid from a vivid marker and held it against my new breast and asked me if it looked in about the right place. After he had decided where it should go he injected my right boobie with two lots of anaesthetic. Boy did that make my eyes water. He also numbed the new breast.

He then set about cutting off the top of my nipple....this I could not watch as he started slicing with the scalpel. Once he had cut it off, he put it down on the trolley next to me.

What a strange sensation, seeing part of your body detached and laying there. The strangest thing was that once it was cut off and the blood drained from it, it went a normal skin colour.
He then stitched up what was left of the old nipple. Then he cut a hole in my new breast for the new nipple to sit on. The hole was cut so that the blood vessels could attach themselves to the new appendage. Then with a tiny, half circle needle, he delicately stitched it on to it's new home. Now after a month it is completely healed and is the correct colour. And no, I don't have any feeling in it but my new boobie looks a bit more normal with it's cherry on top. I go back on the 28th of October to get the final stage done which is the tattoo of the areola.
