    third times a charm
    Hi Bestymorgan,

    I just had my left nip redone for the third time on Saturday.

    Don't give up.

    I'm not.

    I have 3D Tat's
    I was going to have nipple reconstruction done 6 months after my Surgery which would have been Dec 2009... I woke up the morning of and just could not go through another surgery..The timing just wasn't right.. So I called and canceled... This last year in
    August for my 50th birthday I went to Vegas and on my birthday I had 3D nipple tat's done.. AND i also had a small vine of Sunflowers tatted on the side of my breast where the lump was... They turned out beautiful!! my friends are amazed at how real they look! The guy who did them was the one of the best realistic tattoo artists in Vegas. If your on the fence about what to do then think about tat's.. if you change your mind down the road you can always do nipple reconstrucion when your really ready...

    You're all such brave souls .. SamuraiMom .. 3 times for your
    left nip .. are you being charged money each and every time?? Is your insurance paying for this ?? just questions that come to mind -- I would be screaming "cry me a river", right about now.

    3D tatt's here I come!! LOL Nipples -- maybe somewhere down the road, in a year of two.

    Strength and Courage to all:

    Hi VS,

    Long time not chat!

    Yes, a third time! Ahhhhhhhh!

    My insurance has paid for it all but I was warned they might not a fourth time. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

    If it does I will definitely be seeking out the 3D tattooing. My right nip turned out so perfect. Can't quit now.

    Love you!

    xxoo,

    3 D tattoo
    I thought about just doing the 3 D tat and my plastic surgeon said "NO." I looked at him with a puzzled look and he said you need nipples, you need to take ownership of your breasts! I laughed so hard!!! Marianne

    Lol Marianne!

    Lol Marianne!
