Doctor’s advice on changes in nipple size post-surgery.

Question:

Does the nipple size change when you go on hormones for mtf or can that be changed during surgery?

Answer:

That hormone question would be a good one to ask your breast surgeon who performs your mastectomy. Our services are limited to the reconstruction procedure. When we reconstruct, we try to save the nipple, if possible, to achieve a natural result. A reduction in areolar size can be achieved during the stages of reconstruction surgery if that is what the patient desires.
