| What is it? |
Nipple Reduction surgery is popular with women who are self conscious about the large protrusive size of their nipples and wish to make permanent correction, and as milk ducts are preserved, women are able to breast feed properly afterwards.
|
| How does it work? |
This is a delicate surgical procedure to perform. It involves the
surgeon making small incisions on the nipple itself and removing pieces of it, so reducing its overall size. Once the incisions are closed and heal, scarring is virtually imperceptible.
|
How long does
surgery take? |
Usually, this is a fairly swift surgical procedure taking no more than an hour to complete. The patient can be either under a local or general anaesthetic, and no overnight stay in hospital is required.
|
What is the
recovery time? |
Most patients resume normal activity within a couple of days and make a recovery time? full recovery within 7 – 10 days.
|
| How long will it last? |
This type of surgery produces permanent results.
|
| Your results |
Bruising and swelling of the nipples and breast area is to be expected after the operation, as is nausea from any general anaesthetic administered. There are no long-term side effects to worry about.
