    I had coworker get breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. They made a nipple for her, I think from skin.

      Mine is also like this. During mastectomy they removed my nipples and grafted them back on. Looks perfectly natural.

          A friend of my mom’s showed her that they’d moved her nipples to another part of her torso until she recovered from the original surgery and was ready to have implants and the nipples back on. But this was in the 70s and she only lived a couple more years, I don’t know if she ever even got that surgery because of too much else going on trying to kill the cancer.

        Could you imagine if someone got a shitty surgeon and they grafted it back on, but just enough off-center for them to notice every time they looked in a mirror?
