What is nipple aesthetics?

Nipple aesthetics is the procedure performed on the nipple, the area around the nipple, and the brown region of the nipple area in women.areolaNipple aesthetic surgery refers to cosmetic procedures that address problems such as:

Various deformities of the nipples, such as inverted nipples, sunken nipples, large and wide nipples, and nipple reconstruction (creating a missing nipple), are problems that nipple aesthetic surgery solves.

Nipple aesthetic surgery can also be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation, reduction, and lifting procedures, which are included in breast aesthetic applications.

Factors that cause the areola (the area surrounding the nipple) to enlarge also cause the breast tissue to lose its natural form and the breast shape to become distorted. The colored area around the nipple is more prominent in women with darker skin tones and can have different color tones depending on hormonal changes.

What should be considered before surgery?

Nail polish, jewelry, and contact lenses should be removed before surgery. Patients are advised to quit or reduce smoking approximately 2-3 weeks prior to surgery. The use of blood-thinning medications and herbal teas should be discontinued. Patients should inform their doctor of any medications they need to take during their appointment so that the treatment plan can be adjusted accordingly.

How is aesthetic nipple surgery performed?

In inverted nipples, the problem stems from the nipples being pulled inward due to the milk ducts remaining short during development. The severity of this problem varies depending on the shortness of the milk ducts. To correct inverted nipples, if a patient has this problem and is planning breast augmentation, reduction, or lift surgery, the problem can be addressed during these surgeries. Sometimes, patients may have inverted nipples even without any underlying breast tissue problems; in these cases, it’s possible to correct this issue independently.

Surgery for inverted or sunken nipples:

This procedure is performed carefully to free the milk ducts that pull the nipples inward without damaging them. Depending on the severity of the problem, fat or muscle tissue may be placed under the nipples. The nipple is lifted upwards using surgical methods or sutures.

Can excessively large nipples be reduced in size?

If only the size of the nipple is a concern, a small incision is made around the nipple, and some tissue is removed to reduce its size without damaging the milk ducts. If the nipple is long and very prominent, a special incision technique is used to correct its length and excessive prominence, again preserving the milk ducts.

The small size of the colored area around the breast:

In this case, medical dyes are used to create areola tattoos, or skin grafts taken from suitable body parts are used to mimic the nipple and surrounding tissues, giving the breasts a symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Nipple reconstruction

Some patients are born without nipples, or they may have lost them due to trauma or mastectomy (removal of the breast) following a mastectomy. In such cases, the nipple and, if necessary, the areola are reconstructed. For this purpose, nipple reconstruction is usually achieved using breast skin from the area where the nipple would normally be. Sometimes, other tissues from the patient’s body can be used, or a portion of a healthy nipple can be transplanted to the missing nipple. In addition, permanent makeup and tattoos can also be used.

Rarely, bleeding, infection, and loss of sensation in the nipple may occur for a few days. These conditions are usually temporary. In nipple aesthetic surgery performed by an experienced plastic surgeon, the likelihood of these risks occurring is extremely low.

What are the processes following nipple surgery?

After nipple aesthetic surgery, the surgical area is protected with a dressing. The surgical bra or sports bra recommended by your doctor should be continued for a few weeks after the operation. Due to the use of aesthetic sutures, there is no need for stitches to be removed.
