I am 24years old, 115lbs, 5'7", I have had 3 children and recently gotten a breast aumentation. I have silicone implants above the muscle. I love the size and shape of them but I hate my nipples. They are oblong and just terrible looking. Therefore I would like to know if there is a procedure that can fix the appearance of my nipple with minimal scarring? I am especially concerned about nipple surgery with my implants above the muscle, should I be?
Your nipples have been pushed from behind into this shape because of your implants. You may not be happy with my advice but I would recommend a smaller implant placed behind the muscle and let the look of your nipples correct themselves with this new result. (And they will)
I want a procedure that is fast recovery and wont lose sensation? also if i want to prevent from stretching what are the options? thank you
The trade off in getting to a smaller areola is a ring like scar that goes all the way around the new smaller areola.
It goes by several names but "DONUT" scar really says it all for most patients
This scar at times can heal with hypopigmentation (white scar) or hyperpigmentation (dark scar) The smaller nipple will almost always retain sensation since the nerves are not cut. And since there is no interruption to the milk duct women can breast feed after this surgery.
With weight gain in the breast there may be some stretching out over time.
This is a great alternative to living with huge nipples. It also tightens the skin and gives a mild lift at the same time. If you can live with the scar and be happy with the fact that your nipples are more normal in size this should be your choice.
Can slack areolar skin be removed between the nipple and within the border of the areola? I do not want implants and want the most minimal of scarring. I am happy with my natural breast shape and size but am bothered by the stretched out areola. Can this be done and how does the scarring result?
The width of the areola is reduced in breast lifts and breast reductions. It can also be accomplished without the lift. It involves removing a ring of skin aroung the outer edge and gathering it to the smaller size. We call that a purse string suture. There are several ways to minimize the scarring, including use of a type of suture that is resistant to stretching and postoperative taping. If you would like I would be happy to discuss details with you in person at your convenience. Your consult fee will be waived if you mention Real Self.
