No Nips - Mastectomy Gallery

During a mastectomy, the removal of nipples is a common occurrence. This surgical procedure involves the elimination of breast tissue, which includes the nipple and areola complex. The decision to go nipple-less is often based on medical considerations such as the extent of cancer involvement, risk, or the potential for cancer recurrence.

Losing nipples as part of a mastectomy can impact patients’ physical and emotional wellbeing. While the primary focus is on eradicating cancer and minimising health risks, the aesthetic consequences are also acknowledged. It’s essential to recognise that the decision to lose your nipples is deeply personal. Consult with your medical team to discuss the available options for you, and they will help you make an informed decision aligned with your unique circumstances and goals. Whether you’re nipple-less or nipply, there is no right or wrong decision, and it is a different experience for everyone!
