Address Your Aesthetic Concerns
Your nipples and areolae are crucial to the symmetry and aesthetic appearance of your breasts. As with every other part of your body, your nipples are unique. The fact that your nipples differ in size from those of other women is very natural. Many women are concerned about their self-esteem because of their nipples and areolas. Board-certified plastic surgeons, Dr. Feledy and Dr. Maiorino of Belmont Plastic Surgery in Washington, D.C., use their expertise in breast reconstruction to address your issues with nipple reduction. Schedule your Washington DC nipple reduction surgery consultation to learn more about how this procedure can change your opinion about your breasts.
In Caring Hands
Nipple reduction surgery is an operation that reduces the size of one or both nipples, so they are proportional to the surrounding breasts. Nipple reduction surgery can also be performed if there is an aesthetic issue with one or both nipples, such as asymmetry.
In addition, this surgery can be done on men and women who desire a greater balance between their nipple and breast sizes after puberty has ended. Nipple reductions are usually performed in conjunction with a breast augmentation or breast lift, but they can also be performed alone as an outpatient procedure.
A Meticulous Approach
In addition to reducing puffiness and asymmetry, nipple reduction surgery can also improve the appearance of long, drooping nipples, restore the shape and size of nipples that have been distorted by breastfeeding, and give you a more attractive set of nipples and areolae. All of which can lead to increased self-esteem and self-confidence.
The Look You Want
Nipple reduction surgery might be a viable option for those who have lost a lot of weight and feel self-conscious about the way their nipples are now protruding out. For mothers who breastfeed and find that their nipples have become much larger than they had before pregnancy, it's not too late to fix them! The nipples of some people may be abnormally large or even projected in size at birth — but if you fall into one of these categories and are otherwise healthy, nipple reduction surgery could do wonders for your self-esteem. This procedure can also reduce the size of large nipples — making them more comparable to the other small ones on each breast after completion.
The nipple and areola make up the anatomy of the nipple. The nipple, also known as the breast's protruding apex, sits atop an area called the areola — a pigmented region surrounding it. A local anesthetic will be given throughout your nipple reduction surgery to ensure your utmost comfort. Dr. Feledy or Dr. Maiorino will make tiny incisions to restructure the areola, nipple, or both as needed. As a result, your nipples' size and form will now be more evenly distributed, making them look more beautiful.
Following nipple reduction surgery Washington DC patients might expect some bruising, swelling, and soreness. Dr. Feledy or Dr. Maiorino will write you a prescription for pain medication to ease your pain. After your nipple reduction surgery, you should expect to relax for a few days before returning to your usual routine, which should take no longer than a week. You should avoid vigorous activity for the first several days after your surgery.
Minimally Invasive
One of the fascinating aspects of nipple revision surgery with Belmont Plastic Surgery is that it can lead to long-lasting effects and permanent changes to the nipple size and shape. However, changes in the nipple and areola due to age, pregnancy and breast feeding may still occur after surgery and will be discussed by your surgeon.
