Deformities of the nipple can be both congenital and acquired and deliver a lot of unpleasant sensations to a woman, especially in intimate life. Of course, even the most beautifully shaped breasts will look unaesthetic with a large areola and sloppy nipple.

Surgery to correct the nipple and areola can be performed in conjunction with other types of plastic surgery, and also as a separate operation. From a medical point of view, the presence of deformities or changes in the size of the nipple and areola is not a health problem, but each woman decides for herself whether to do this operation or not, since these defects can cause psychoemotional disorders.

Indication and preparation for the nipple surgery

Before the nipple surgery, you need to undergo a complete examination and take tests, as well as get advice from an oncologist and anesthesiologist.

One week before the operation, it is necessary to stop taking alcohol and other substances that can cause blood thinning (aspirin, hormones).

The indications for the nipple surgery are as follows:

  1. Too much areola around the nipple;
  2. The presence of asymmetry and deformation of the nipple;
  3. Presence of hypertrophied or retracted nipple;
  4. The presence of a wide or long nipple;
  5. Absence of nipple and areola.

Features of operations to correct the nipple and areola

Correction of nipples and areola varies depending on their condition:

The essence of the areola correction operation is a cut around it and excision of superfluous pigmented skin, without affecting the dairy ducts of the gland. If a woman decides to give birth in the future, there will be no problems with feeding the baby.

If a woman has a strongly retracted nipple, then this is due to short dairy ducts. The essence of the operation is that the doctor releases the milk ducts from the strands by means of small incisions of 2-3 mm in size. Women who want to give birth in the future do not have to worry – after such an operation they will be able to breast-feed.

Too large a nipple is removed by the method of wedge excision, and thus it becomes impossible to feed the child in the future. But often the cause of such a nipple is a prolonged or many times repeated period of breastfeeding.

If women do not have a nipple and areola, then a reconstructive plastic surgery is performed, during which a new nipple is formed from the skin of the breast. To form the areola, the areas of pigmented skin from the perineum or from the area of the areola of the healthy breast are taken.

In extreme cases, the areola tattoo done in the postoperative period. These types of surgery are resorted to in case of amputation of the breast due to the appearance of a cancerous tumor.

The postoperative period and the result of nipple surgery

Complications after surgery are not a hazard and are manifested in the form of small abrasions and cracks. The decrease in the sensitivity of the nipple and areola is possible after the operation, but with time it is restored.

All nipple and areola adjustments are simple operations that do not require a woman to stay in the hospital for a long time, and on the day of the operation she can go home.

If a woman feels pain or burning at the site of surgery, then she can take painkillers. The sutures are removed after 4-5 days after the operation, and in the case of superabsorbable material application, they are not removed.
