What Is Nipple Repair?
Although pregnancy and nursing are very rewarding, they can significantly alter the shape of the breasts and nipples. Genetics can also be responsible for the bust's size, shape, and projection. Patients usually seek help in correcting inverted nipples or enlarged or elongated nipples. The team of plastic surgeons at Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery is pleased to offer nipple repair for patients who are unhappy with the look of their breasts. Call our Pensacola, FL office today to learn how nipple repair surgery can benefit you and give you the alluring shape you desire.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
Nipple inversion surgery is a simple procedure that can be performed in the office without the need for general anesthesia. Your surgeon will use a long-acting numbing agent to ease any discomfort. A retraction suture is then used to pull the nipple out to its full length. A tiny incision is placed at the inferior side of the nipple. The thick retracted milk ducts are cut one at a time with great care to avoid cutting all the ducts if it is not necessary. The incision is then closed and dressed. Nipple inversion surgery usually takes less than one hour.
Enlarged, elongated, or protruding nipples are common after breastfeeding. Removing some of the excess nipple tissue addresses this concern. This can typically be done in the office using local anesthesia and usually takes less than an hour.
