Breast reconstruction is a multi-stage process, leaving many patients overwhelmed by the surgeries they have had to endure by the time they reach the final stages. Patients, however, are encouraged to complete their new breast by undergoing nipple and areolar reconstruction. These last two procedures improve the aesthetic result by transforming the surgically created breast mount into a more natural-appearing breast. This final touch enhances body image, restoring the patient's feeling of wholeness. These procedures are mostly done in the office under local or no anesthesia, depending on the sensation present in the reconstructed breast.
乳房重建是一个多阶段的过程，许多患者在进入最后阶段时，已经被他们不得不忍受的手术折磨得疲惫不堪。然而，鼓励患者通过进行乳头和乳晕重建来完成新乳房的塑造。这最后两个步骤通过将手术创造的乳房基底转变为更自然外观的乳房，从而改善美学效果。这最后的修饰增强了身体形象，恢复了患者的完整感。这些手术大多在诊所进行，根据重建乳房的感觉，采用局部麻醉或不麻醉。
