Emily B Mclaughlin

I got surgery done with Dr. McLaughlin for my bifid/split nipple, with the goal of making it look more normal. Dr. M greeted me with massive confidence, repeatedly stating she could stitch it up in no time, no problem. Blind confidence really, which fooled me. Unfortunately she failed. The first surgery did not heal correctly- actually looked worse than it did originally. She honorably then did the surgery again about 3 months later, for free, as were all the following check ups. She had a lot of integrity and I do respect that. However, you do not seek out a surgeon for personality traits alone-you seek them based off skill. In my opinion, Dr. M lacks skill surrounding nipple reconstruction. I wish I had sought out a surgeon who specialized in this. I was 17 the first consultation I had with Dr. M, and her bubbly personality and confidence made me trust her. I should have done better research. She had never done this surgery before, and it’s apparently rare, but she made it seem like a walk in the park. $1000 and 5 months of uncomfortable healing later, and my nipple does look slightly better than before. However, after undergoing 2 surgeries, I’ve now built up scar tissue and am left with an unnatural looking nipple-dramatic crease separating it laterally as if it’s two nipples, with crinkly edges that do not connect at one side. At our final checkup, Dr. M said “That’s the best I can do.” I believe that. So if you’re specifically looking for a plastic surgeon who can fix a nipple issue, find one that specializes in it, and get it done right the first time so you can rest easy.
