Judy,I'm not sure you have the right doctor I do not perform mastectomies but I do perform reconstructions. Also,your claim about insurance is totally false. I'm in almost every plan and have Never charged a patient for a nipple or areola reconstruction without going through insurance. If you truly are my patient or by accident another doctors patient ,I would be glad to evaluate you at no charge
