Inverted Nipples...
Inverted nipples can cause both cosmetic and functional problems. During breast feeding infants are usually unable to suckle effectively due to lack of nipple projection. The condition is due to the presence of tight or short ligaments within the nipple, which pull the end of the nipple deep down into the breast tissue. Inverted nipples look flat, small and sunken without the ability to pop out and stay firm. In mild cases the inverted nipple corrects itself temporarily when it is stimulated by touch or cold. In severe cases nipple stimulation does not correct the problem.
The correction of inverted nipples requires a surgical procedure, which disconnects the ligaments and ducts under the nipple, allowing it to rise to its natural projection. Surgery is performed through a minimal incision, leaving a minimal, if any, scar. Local anaesthetic is all that is required.
Nipple Size Reduction
A large and elongated nipple takes away the youthful appearance of the breast and is aesthetically unattractive; furthermore it can be visible through clothing. Nipple Size Reduction can be corrected surgically under local anaesthesia.
Before Surgery
During your initial consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your health and explain the surgical technique he feels will be best for you based on your breasts and nipples. Mr Uppal will explain the procedure and answer any questions that you may have.
Surgery
The surgery takes about 30 mins and patients go home within a few hours of the procedure with a small dressing on their nipples. As it is a simple procedure recovery takes a few hours. All stitches are dissolving and a check up is arranged 1 week after surgery.
