This present invention describes methods and compositions useful for the reconstruction of various soft tissue features such as lips, areola, and man y other features by taking a mold of the skin feature to be replaced, such as the areola, prior to surgical resection, re-creating the size and shape of t he soft tissue feature, for example, the nipple and areola, and making a polyme r or biopolymer scaffold that is biocompatible, has the ability to allow the epithelization of the skin cells over the polymer, the capability of cell integration into the body of the scaffold, as well as the capability of infiltration of surrounding nerve fibers into the substance of the scaffold, so that the patient may have the benefit of a reconstructed soft tissues feature that not only has the same size and shape and appearance as the nati ve tissue, but also has functional sensation.
