There is a woman on an AP mult list which I belong to whom had terribe breast
damage as a child. She has no nipple. Her ducts were burned. She has talked
to a surgeon about getting this done and I remember that the results expected
are very poor. I'm assuming that it would vary depending on the damage. I
remember her saying though that basically she would have to keep teh wound open so
that it didn't heal over? Karen G is also on that list and might remember more
details. It was a few months ago.
