Nipple Reconstruction in Chicago, IL

Nipple restoration is the last stage of the breast reconstruction process and often serves as the crucial final step for women struggling to regain their confidence and identity after losing a breast. Breast reconstruction is a unique journey for every patient, which is why Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery offers a variety of approaches for nipple reconstruction. We're also proud to be the first plastic surgery practice to perform 3D nipple tattooing in Chicago, IL, offering a less invasive way to achieve a more natural look after breast reconstruction. To learn about our approach to breast/nipple reconstruction and what you can expect throughout the process, schedule a consultation at our practice and take the first step on your journey with us.

We specialize in several approaches to nipple reconstruction surgery at our Chicago, IL office. These include local flap reconstruction (using skin from the breast to create a new nipple), skin grafting from a different part of the body, and nipple autografting (using some of the tissue from your other nipple to construct a new one). During your consultation, we'll discuss the merits of each method and which one is most suitable for you. After constructing the new nipple mound, we can tattoo the area to create the appearance of an areola and hide scarring.

For patients who are not eligible for surgery or simply don't want to go under the knife again, Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery is pleased to offer 3D nipple and areola tattooing. This process is performed by our skilled tattoo artist and creates the appearance of a nipple projecting out from the breast. The results of 3D nipple tattooing are extremely realistic, and many of our patients are thrilled with their new look.

Breast and nipple reconstruction can be a powerful process for women on their healing journey after mastectomy. The benefits of nipple restoration at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery include:

  • Creates a more natural appearance
  • Empowers you to once again feel comfortable in your own body
  • Leaves minimal scarring
  • Surgical and nonsurgical options are available

I had chin lipo done by Dr. Simon and had the BEST experience. I’ve wanted to do this my whole life and finally made the choice because of how comfortable I felt going into the process. During the surgery it was painless and we were actually cracking jokes and laughing the whole time with Monica who is also WONDERFUL. Don’t get me wrong it’s not the most comfortable thing in the world but there was no pain at any point. My recovery has gone super well and In just 3-4 days you can live your life totally normal. I already have friends who have seen my results that are going to Dr. Simon now.
