Discover a pioneering post-mastectomy nipple option that you might not know about!
If you've lost your nipple(s) as part of breast cancer surgery and are looking for non-surgical options, this episode is for you.
Niki Crillo from Procosmediq is a pioneer in Australia, a medical tattooist and silicone prosthesis artisan who handmakes custom prosthetic nipples. She molds and colour-matches each piece, providing a realistic alternative to surgical reconstruction.
However, due to their incredibly realistic appearance, these prosthetic nipples are often censored on social media, making them harder to discover!
Luan and Niki talk about:
- Niki's unique process of making custom nipples
- DIY molds for clients across Australia and overseas
- Creative solutions for those without a nipple to mold
- The nipple mold 'library'
- How you can donate to the 'library'
- Fun 'Nip & Sip' events for awareness and support
Don’t miss this enlightening conversation that could transform your post-mastectomy experience.
