But modern medicine allows not only to enlarge, reduce or lift the breasts. Surgeries to correct the nipples and areolae have also become extremely popular. Plastic surgery of the nipple-areola complex (NAC) is often an integral part of breast correction or restoration. However, in some cases, this operation is performed independently due to the client's wishes. Specialists of Dr. Borodko's aesthetic center are among the best plastic surgeons in Kyiv. They have hundreds of successful surgeries and a large number of gratitude letters from women who have finally found the figure of their dreams.

The cost of nipple and areola correction

The cost of this procedure may vary slightly. It all depends on the complexity of the upcoming surgical intervention, the client's wishes, and the desired result. The preliminary price of the procedure is shown in the table below. However, the exact price of nipple correction can be found out only after the initial examination by the surgeon of the aesthetic center Dr. Borodko. During the consultation, the specialist assesses the current state of the breast, identifies all the problems that bother the patient, determines the real need for surgery, and prescribes a number of tests and mandatory procedures.

Indications for nipple correction

There are several reasons for such an operation:

  • Damage to the mammary gland due to previous unsuccessful plastic surgery or trauma, as well as various diseases (mastoptosis, gynecomastia, mastitis, abscess, etc.).
  • Removal of the breast and skin flap through mastectomy (surgical removal of a cancerous tumor).
  • Too small or large nipple size that does not allow comfortable breastfeeding after childbirth.
  • Deformation of the areola in one direction (stretching).
  • Nipples that protrude too far forward (this reason is relevant for both women and men).
  • Pronounced asymmetry (age-related, congenital or a consequence of surgery).
  • Pathologically large size of the areola.
  • Recessed nipples (hidden, tightly closed).
  • Uneven contour of the areola.

All these reasons can be a source of not only physical but also psycho-emotional discomfort. To get rid of these kinds of problems, make an appointment for an initial consultation at the Aesthetic Medicine Center of Dr. Borodko in Kyiv.

Contraindications for nipple correction

Since nipple and areola correction is a full-fledged surgical operation, it has a number of contraindications:

  • Early age of the patient (under 18 years).
  • Current pregnancy.
  • Current breastfeeding (correction can be performed only about a year after the end of feeding).
  • The presence of clinically confirmed mental disorders.
  • Complex cardiovascular diseases and pathologies.
  • The presence of oncology in the active phase (especially in the area of the proposed surgical intervention).

Only a professional surgeon at the clinic can determine the possibility of surgery. For this purpose, a number of preliminary tests and examinations are prescribed (in some situations, additional consultation with a specialized doctor is required). With good reason, the client may be denied the nipple correction procedure.

Rehabilitation period

The duration of rehabilitation depends on the complexity of the work performed by the surgeon. In most cases, the patient is sent home the same day. In some situations, medical supervision in a hospital may be required during the first days after surgery. Rehabilitation after nipple and areola correction has a number of features:

  • Tissue swelling persists for 4-5 days
  • Sutures are removed after 10 days (but more often a self-absorbable material is used)
  • The result can be evaluated in 2-3 months
  • Physical activity should be avoided for 2 weeks after surgery
  • Sleeping is recommended on the side or back
  • The sutures should not be wet for several days, it is also forbidden to massage the breast and touch the surgical area with bare hands
