Hi Kim,
i am holding off with mine as well. I live in Cairns and have been given a couple of recommendations. Just wary of their experience, or maybe I'm lazy. My parents live in Sydney and there is a lady in Mona Vale called Jill Adams who did all Prof Penningtons before he retired, and also all Harvey Sterns ( think that his name) patients. So it seems she has lots of experience. Is that who you saw? She quoted me around $800 but another $400 for a touch up a few months later. I am like you in that my nipples were fairly pale. I met with Jill last year before I had my nipples made(how weird does that statement sound?), and she drew some on me. I think I will go to her when next I visit my parents. If you go to the online recon group and look for the tag reconstruction nipple in the drop down all topics area there are a couple of stories there.
Let me know how you go.
Paula
