Nipple and areola reconstructions are usually the final phase of breast reconstruction. This is a separate surgery done to make the reconstructed breast look more like the original breast. It can be done as an outpatient procedure. Itâs usually done after the new breast has had time to heal (about 3 to 4 months after surgery). Ideally, nipple and areola reconstruction matches the position, size, shape, texture, color, and projection of the new nipple to the natural one (or to the other one, if both nipples are being reconstructed).
What To Expect After Surgery. The usual recovery period after bunion surgery is 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on the amount of soft tissue and bone affected. Complete healing may take as long as 1 year. 1  When you are showering or bathing, the foot must be kept covered to keep the stitches dry.2  Stitches are removed after 7 to 21 days. Many activities can be resumed in about 6 to 8 weeks. 2  After some procedures, no weight can be put on the foot for 6 to 8 weeks. 3  Then there are a few more weeks of partial weight-bearing with the foot in a special shoe or boot to keep the bones and soft tissues steady as they heal.
