#2: Unequal Breast treated with Breast implant and different breast uplift (mastopexy) techniques on each side
April 21st, 2010
Most women have minor differences in the size and shape of their breasts. In some cases like the one shown this can be more severe. In this case the right breast was smaller than the left and the nipple was in a lower position on the left. Mr Richards corrected the volume difference between the sides by inserting implants of similar base width but different projections on either side.
The nipple position was corrected with a peri-arolar nipple lift on the right and a transverse scar mastopexy on the less severe left side.
In the video Mr Richards describes his reason for performing these techniques and demonstrates each stage of the operation as well as the final result.
#1: Inverted nipple operation
April 19th, 2010
Inverted nipples affect up to 10% of the female population in the UK. This subject is often taboo and is not often discussed even between friends and family members. Nipple inversion is caused by shortening of the mammary ducts which attach deeply to the breast glands and superficially to the nipple. There are 3 grades of nipple inversion. Grade 1 is the mildest and is characterised by nipples which are usually mildly inverted or flat and evert spontaneously before re-inverting. Grade 1 nipple inversion often responds well to the nipplette suction device. Grade 2 nipple every occasionally and immediately re-invert whereas Grade 3 inverted nipples do not evert. In my experience Grade 2 and 3 inverted nipples do not tend to correct with the nipplette suction device. The most reliable form of surgery is division of the shortened milk ducts. I perform an average of 30 of these procedures a month with good results. The surgery is performed under Local Anaesthetic with minimal downtime. The major disadvantage of dividing the milk ducts is that you will not be able to breast feed following surgery.
