In colloquial British English, nous also denotes good sense, which is close to one everyday meaning it had in Ancient Greece. This diagram shows the medieval understanding of spheres of the cosmos, derived from Aristotle, and as per the standard explanation by Ptolemy. It came to be understood that at least the outermost sphere (marked PrimÅ© Mobile) has its own intellect, intelligence or nous - a cosmic equivalent to the human mind.
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).
The recovery time of breast reconstruction post mastectomy largely depends on the type of procedure performed. With implant based reconstruction, the average time ranges from two weeks to four weeks back to a desk job. With more advanced reconstruction, using your own tissue (autologous), more time is generally required for recovery, as there is a donor site that has to heal as well.
