The Ideal Nipple Reconstruction Shield

Summary: Reconstruction of the nipple-areola complex is the culmination of a long road for patients who have suffered breast cancer. The postoperative dressing of the reconstructive nipple must protect it from mechanical forces, trauma, and infection. A broad array of dressings has been used for the reconstructed nipple. The authors propose the use of a readily available adhesive eye protector as a simple and cost-effective dressing for the reconstructed nipple-areola complex.
