The different surgical techniques for Nipple Surgery include:
This procedure is performed to reduce the size or prominence of the nipple by removing excess tissue and reshaping it to achieve the desired size and proportion.
Also known as Nipple Enlargement or Nipple Enhancement, this technique involves adding volume and projection to the nipple using various methods such as tissue grafting, dermal fillers, or fat transfer.
This technique is utilized in cases where the nipple has been lost or damaged due to trauma, mastectomy, or other medical conditions. It involves recreating a new nipple using local tissue.
Inverted Nipples occur when the nipple is retracted or pulled inward instead of protruding outward. This technique involves releasing the tethering tissues and reshaping the nipple to correct the inversion and achieve a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Although not specifically a Nipple Surgery technique, it is often performed in conjunction with nipple procedures. Areola Reduction involves reducing the size of the pigmented area surrounding the nipple.
The location of incisions and resulting scars for Nipple Surgery depends on the specific technique being performed. In general, incisions for Nipple Surgery are strategically placed around the nipple-areolar complex or along natural creases and contours to minimize the visibility of scars.
Recovery after Nipple Surgery typically involves some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the treated area. Our patients are advised to follow post-operative instructions provided by Dr. Landford, which may include wearing a supportive garment, avoiding strenuous activities, and keeping the incision sites clean and dry. Full recovery can take a few weeks, during which time you should gradually resume normal activities while avoiding activities that may strain or impact the treated area.
