39 with an unusual shaped nipple - Can it be made to look normal during a Breast Lift with Implants surgery? (photo)

Although it's possible to correct a nipple deformity at the time of breast augmentation, it's probably not a good idea. It's not unusual for the nipple ductal system to be chronically contaminated with bacteria. When these procedures are performed together, there's the potential to inadvertently infect the implant pocket.For this reason, we prefer to perform nipple corrections as secondary procedures after wound healing is complete. This correction can be easily accomplished under local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.If you're considering nipple reconstruction, consultation with your plastic surgeon is appropriate. Your surgeon should be able to outline a treatment plan that addresses your concerns.

The nipple size or shape can be changed to be more similar to the other.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Thank you for your question. A nipple revision can be also performed when you have your procedure.


Many
surgeons, including myself, offer online virtual consultations where you send
us your photos and we can estimate the cost. I, like many surgeons, also
offer free consultations so that you can be examined and given the most
accurate quote.


Choose a
board certified plastic surgeon who has done a ton of Brazilian Butt Lifts
and has privileges to do this surgery at a local university hospital. This
says his credentials have been checked out by fellow Drs. All surgeries carry
risk, talk to your plastic surgeon and choose one wisely.
