There's something strangely un-kosher about this. I speak as an accomplished skin graftee.

1. The primary donor sites for skin for grafting are thighs, buttocks and upper arms. In the worst of burns cases, skin is recovered from the instep on your foot and propagated. The reasons for these choices is that they are predominantly flat, even textured and easy to dress. This guy appears to have a graft on his thigh, meaning that that leg couldn't be used for a donor site. His other leg, arms and buttocks may have also been rendered useless as donor sites by whatever it was that afflicted him.

2. Skin for grafting is removed with the medical equivalent of one of those gadgets that cuts and rolls readi-lawn. These are precision surgical instruments (although they don't feel like it) that take patches of skin in nice even-thicknessed thin slices. I have difficulty seeing how they would cope with a great bung of tissue in the form of a nipple. One presumes that the piercing was removed during the procedure...

3. While you retain a sense of "feeling" under your graft, this is not the same as that of normal skin -- because the nerve endings get severed. Depending on what happened to the underlying tissue at the graft site, it is possible to have patches that are totally "dead" to the touch. If nothing else about this report is crap, the claims that his transplanted nipple hardens when cold, etc certainly are.

I remain highly dubious...

One presumes that the piercing was removed during the procedure...The skin was taken from the chest area yes. But the actual nipple wasn't part of the skin that was taken. When the skin was grafted to the leg, it was flat and nipple-less. What has happened that a piece of whatever helps make the nipple, has been part of the skin that was grafted and therefore made a new nipple (Kinda like a starfish if you will). The piercing was added after the nipple grew on the leg.

Hope that makes you less dubious :)

If bits of nipple tissue were capable of regeneration as suggested, a lot of plastic surgeons would have to be very careful, particularly when repositioning women's nipples after breast "augmentation" surgery, that they got the lot, otherwise said women could be a tad aggrieved to find new nipples popping up like mushrooms...

No other human skin tissue (apart from some limited abilities for the skin on the palms of your hands) can spontaneously replace itself, so I have my doubts about the voracity of claims that nipples can. Sorry...

[Pendant alert] Would have hurt...

Not if the piercing was done after the nipple was relocated.
