Nipple correction is a fairly common operation that allows you to restore the natural beauty of the female breast. With age, due to childbirth or by nature, various parts of the chest are deformed. In addition to physiological troubles, which are quite rare, the owners of such shortcomings face quite serious psychological difficulties. Plastic surgeons are ready to come to the rescue, returning the perfect breasts and allowing you to leave complexes in the past forever. Plastic surgery that corrects the nipple-areolar complex gives excellent results. According to nipple correction reviews, women are gaining self-confidence and can enjoy life again.
Deformations and beauty
The official opinion of modern medicine is this: deformities fixed on the female breast, in their bulk, are not pathologies, that is, correction of the shape of the nipples is not a mandatory surgical intervention. It is quite possible to keep the chest as it is. When making a final decision, you need to carefully evaluate the impact on the psyche, emotions, and sense of self. There are often cases when, without indications for surgery, from the point of view of medicine, correction of the nipples of the breast is still needed just so that a woman can again beconfident in her attractiveness, femininity.
It should be understood that the change in the female breast with age is a normal phenomenon. Significant factors will be gaining and losing weight, hormonal changes in the body, bearing a child, giving birth and feeding a baby. At the same time, the volumes and shape of the breast change, the effect is on the nipples, the areola surrounding them. But not always a deviation from the generally accepted norm is provoked by age and childbirth, there may be congenital individual characteristics, due to which a woman wants to correct the areola of the nipples.
When needed?
Indications that provoke correction of the areola of the nipple (photos allow you to evaluate the results of medical intervention) are given below:
- non-standard (increased) length, nipple width;
- retraction;
- deformation;
- hypertrophy;
- Nipple asymmetry;
- lack of pigmentation of the nipple, the area around it.
It is believed that photos of nipple correction are of interest only to women, since it is the fair sex that seeks such a surgical intervention. But statistics show that this is nothing more than a stereotype, which in reality is a thing of the past. For more than a year now, men interested in nipple correction have become clients of plastic surgeons from all over the world. No wonder, because men, like women, may lack areas or even nipples at all. In some cases, this body part causes physical or psychologicaldiscomfort that modern medicine can help with.
Where does it all begin?
Before you start to do the correction of the inverted nipple, areola, other operation on this delicate, sensitive, special part of the human body, you need to be examined by a specialist doctor.
The intervention is quite simple, but preparation is needed first. As part of the examination, they do an ultrasound of the chest, an electrocardiogram, take tests (the same as in other operations - for hepatitis, AIDS, biochemistry, general examination).
Medicines: avoiding conflicts
If a woman takes hormonal drugs, she should warn the doctor about it. If these are oral contraceptives, then the reception is stopped three weeks before the correction of the nipples. It is recommended to refrain from smoking and alcohol. If an operation is planned for a patient who is forced to take medications regularly, the doctor should be aware of the full list of drugs, since decisions are made based on this information - what to cancel, what to leave, what to replace. In addition, the choice of analgesics and drugs used in rehabilitation depends on this. If there are allergic reactions, the doctor should know about it.
Operation: both difficult and simple
Nipple correction is often performed as an independent operation, but it can be combined with other surgical interventions on the breast. For example, mammoplasty is often performed at the same time, changing the volume and shape of the mammary glands, while simultaneously correcting the nipples and areola.
It is allowed to carry out nipple correction simultaneously with reconstructive operations. The duration of the whole event is within an hour. Pain relief is usually done locally, but depending on the indications, general anesthesia may be used.
This is important
All operations to correct the area near the nipples are divided into three large categories:
- changing the size of the nipples;
- restoration of nipples, areolas;
- changing the size of the pigmented area of the skin.
If the operation is performed to correct inverted nipples, then during the intervention it corrects the milk ducts, releasing them, because it is precisely because of this element that the area is severely deformed. Such an operation not only gives an aesthetic effect, but is also useful if a woman plans to breastfeed.
The operation involving the milk ducts must be extremely careful not to disturb the subtle systems of the body, so they resort to microsurgery. This allows you to save the ducts, but restore the natural functions of the nipple. With such an operation, an incision is made no more than a centimeter in length, and when it heals, the resulting scar is invisible to the human eye.
Areola and nipples: all for the sake of beauty
If by nature (or due to age-related changes) the areolas have become too large, they can be reduced. It is believed that areolas are beautiful, the size of which is from 3.5 to 4.5 centimeters. But it is important to observe proportionality - the pigmented area is beautiful when it is in proportion to the chest. Correction can not fixonly the size but also the shape.
Nipples can also be made larger, smaller, depending on the initial data. If necessary, reconstruct the nipples. If the area is very large, a wedge-shaped excision is made that disrupts milk flows, that is, breastfeeding is no longer possible after the operation. However, in practice, those who have already breastfed the child come for such an operation, and it was lactation that provoked disproportionate stretching of the nipple.
Increase? Easy
Come to plastic surgeons and those women who experience an inferiority complex, feel their own imperfection due to too small areolas. The pigmented area can be enlarged, and if there is none at all, then a reconstruction should be carried out.
To create a new areola, a small area of skin is taken from the perineum and engrafted on the chest, since the pigmentation of these areas is the same. In some cases, it is necessary to restore sections of both breasts, sometimes only one. If everything is in order with one breast, its areola can be used to obtain a biomaterial that is transplanted into the nipple area of the other breast. As an alternative, they resort to tattooing, for which biologically safe paints are used. If you want to create a nipple, use the skin of the breast.
Rehab: no problem
The operation is performed either under local or general anesthesia. If anesthesia was done locally, then they are discharged already on the day whenmicrosurgery was performed. In the absence of complications, being in a hospital is meaningless, since it is more convenient and comfortable to take care of the sutures at home, on your own. The sutures are removed 7-10 days after the operation. Compression garments are recommended for the first two weeks.
As a rule, the intervention does not affect the milk ducts, which means that surgery does not have any effect on the possibility of breastfeeding. However, if the correction was planned by a woman who is about to become pregnant and give birth soon, then it is better to contact the surgeon after the end of the feeding period.
Complications: is it scary?
Of all types of complications known to medicine, the most common are hematomas that form in the subcutaneous layer. Rarely fix large scars, keloids. It is extremely rare for soft tissues to become inflamed, but this is also possible. To protect yourself from complications, you need to carefully follow medical recommendations. This allows you to almost 100% guarantee that there will be no side effects.
When not?
There are a number of contraindications that do not allow correction of the nipples and areolas:
- systemic diseases;
- infection;
- oncology;
- minor age;
- blood incoagulability;
- bearing;
- lactation.
To do or not to do?
When a woman first comes to the surgeon, declaring her desire to correct the areolas, nipples, she is often advised to think more, and only as she acceptsthe final decision to return to make an appointment and examination. There are also cases when doctors refuse potential clients, citing the fact that there is no need for surgical intervention.
There is a certain stereotype in society: many are still convinced that plastic surgery is done only by narrow-minded people. When planning a surgical intervention, many women hide it even from close relatives. All this provokes a strong stressful situation in which it is not easy to make a final decision. If a woman doubts whether she needs an operation, but cannot trust anyone from her family or friends, then she should use the services of psychologists, psychotherapists.
If the decision was made, then there is nothing to be shy and hide. Everyone in the modern world has the right to meet their own ideals of beauty, since the technologies available to us make this real and even relatively inexpensive. When making your final decision, be sure to look at the before and after photos. This will help you understand how much the breasts are changing in order to adequately assess whether you need it.
