Nipple Surgery

COSMETIC & RECONSTRUCTION NIPPLE SURGERY

Whatever your reasons for surgery are, Dr. Giuffre personalizes the procedure according to your needs and treatment goals to obtain your natural silhouette.

NIPPLE REDUCTION

Nipple reduction surgery may be performed as a standalone surgery under local anesthesia with minimal downtime, or concurrently with other types of cosmetic breast surgery such as breast augmentation, breast lift and breast reduction.

INVERTED NIPPLE 

Surgical correction involves a procedure to release the underlying tissues and may require transection of milk ducts, which could potentially preclude future breastfeeding. Surgery is performed under local anesthesia or with IV sedation. Results are immediate and patient satisfaction high. The procedure may be combined with other aesthetic surgical procedures on the breast.

NIPPLE ASYMETRY CORRECTION

Absolute breast symmetry is very uncommon (<5%). If there is a significant difference in nipple areola size asymmetry, this can be corrected. Often this asymmetry is because both breasts are asymmetrical, in which case, the correction is to surgically treat both the breast and nipple areola asymmetry together. 

NIPPLE RECONSTRUCTION

Women who have had breast cancer surgery, where the breast and nipple areola have been removed to treat the cancer, often undergo breast reconstruction after the surgery. The last stage of the reconstruction after the breast mound is reconstructed, is to have the nipple areola reconstructed. This converts the breast mound into a more natural looking breast.

ACCESORY NIPPLE

Developing extra breast tissue with associated nipples or pigmented areolas may sometimes occur, in both men and women. Surgical excision is the typical treatment and results in permanent removal of breast tissue as well as complete removal of extra nipples or areolas.
