Janine has breast reconstruction after cancer, but her surgeon doesn't bother replacing her nipples because he says they're too much of a 'faff'.
"The thing with the nipples is that the male surgeons don't always appreciate how women might feel about the new exaggerated ones they create," she said.
The only time I've ever worn my nipples is in the middle of my forehead to do my David Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust impression to cheer myself up.It feels like I'm wearing a corset all the time and, because the muscles in my chest have been moved up into my breasts, I can't sit up if you lie me flat. As my wounds started to heal, I noticed that my right breast was bigger than my left. The surgeon agreed so I had an operation to amend the right side.But re-creating nipples was still considered a faff.
I wrote a monologue about a woman with breast cancer who'd had my operation but she was single and had to reveal herself every time she started a relationship.What I'm not happy about are my nipples.As part of the performance, my lovely actress puts a nipple in the middle of her forehead to do her best Ziggy Stardust.
