Caption: Nipple reconstruction surgery. Image 10 of 13. Reconstructured nipple being sewn into place. A skin flap on the female patient's right breast was used to form the false nipple. Skin from the patient's groinal area will be used to form the areola. The patient lost her right nipple during surgery to remove a tumour (lumpectomy). See M590/311-323 for a sequence showing nipple reconstruction surgery.
