An improved nipple prosthesis.
A nipple-areola reconstruction of prosthesis completes the process of breast reconstruction. Reconstructions are technically difficult and have poor long-term results, whereas commercial nipple prostheses are unsatisfactory in matching the normal colour and shape. We describe a simple technique for the manufacture of a custom made nipple-areola prosthesis.
