If you have brest cancer and have to have you boob cut off will your nipple grow back?

my grandma has brest cancer and she wants to know if she will grow another nipple.

Answer:
No, but she can have one tattooed on or have one made out of other tissue, such as from the other nipple among other places.
No, she won't.
sorry..no
Ummm...no.we arent like lizards that grow new parts!!
no, the nipple is removed along with the breast, they don't grow back.
Sorry.
No, she won't grow another nipple but she could have breast reconstruction done immediately after the mastectomy in most cases. She should talk to her physician to see if this is an option......Good Luck to her!
LOL they dont just cut off your breast, and theyll leave the nipple unless the cancers gotten ther somehow... and she wont if they remover it
well sometimes they won't cut off the nipple
They leave the nipple unless it is infected and no it won't grow back.
No..what would it grown on...this is a very serious subject and unless you are a woman you cannot fully understand the sensitivity of this. If my hand was cut off..would a finger grown back but to my arm...NO. if my arm is cut off would my hand grown back to my shoulder? No. Only finger/toenail and hair grown back but they are not CUT from the living part..we actually cut off the dead part. We cannot grow back new body parts like a lizard. wait, I just looked and I think my tail really IS coming back...nevermind.
No, not if she has a normal mastectomy. If she has reconstruction of the breast, the plastic surgeon can devise something that looks like a nipple, but it won't feel like one because the nerves have been severed.
