After breast cancer - do I need nipples?

This is a tough one. To nipple or not to nipple? By the way this is a personal choice. Looking back for me. I don't think it's necessary!
I think at the time I was just not sure. Probably trying to replace everything I had before. I am so confident that I didn't need them. But of course happy I have them they look really good.
You make up your mind - this year 2018 is the 10 year anniversary so you choose.
For nipples!
They look normal.
They help to get you thinking your body is getting woman hood back.
Against nipples!
Another surgery more money.
Another 6 weeks no lifting and no using arms normally.
They are always erect - so you need to wear a bra.

Now my next endeavour is to find out if 10 years I need to replace my boobs anyway. With so much happening back then, I think they said that they only last 10 years.
I will do a doctors visit and get back to you on that one.
Vanity boobs are made of different and stronger material.
The cancer ones I had put in are like a tissue outside and of course very natural looking.
I remember almost not doing the surgery and just staying flat chested. I am so happy I did that.
Some ladies that I have met on this voyage have had one removed and they are quiet happy just having one.
There is not right or wrong way to handle this choice. It's your choice only. Try not to listen to people that haven't been through what we have, because until you go here. You are only guessing what you would do. Pure and simple that's the truth.
Good luck with your choice I hope this has helped you.

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Mastectomy Drain Breast Cancer Treatment

The purpose of drains after mastectomy is to drain away the fluid that can gather in the armpit region or around the scar on the chest wall. Some people after mastectomy also find that fluid gathers around the shoulder blade area on their back - this seems more common if the muscle from the back has been used for breast reconstruction at the time the mastectomy was done. When mastectomy is done - and especially if the lymph nodes are removed from the axilla or armpit - then there is a lot of tissue fluid and lymph fluid left with no where to go. This fluid normally flows through the lymph channels but if they are cut then it can escape into the normal skin and muscle tissues. Your surgeon will place drains under your skin after mastectomy. These drains gather up the fluid and remove it to a bottle (or bottles) that you carry around with you. Some people use a belt clip to attach the drain to their waistband - making them more mobile. Others car...
