BREAST/NIPPLE CORRECTION

BREAST/NIPPLE CORRECTION

In general, most women have some degree of natural asymmetry (difference) between their two breasts. To the untrained eye differences in the breasts are often so minimal that they cause little or no concern for the patient. In more obvious cases the difference between two breasts can be quite substantial, causing both physical imbalance and emotional distress for the patient.


This difference can be displayed in either the shape, size or the actual nipple height on the breast itself. In some women the inframammary creases may also be at different heights with one breast lower than the other.


For patients with scoliosis there may be a difference in their chest wall causing one breast to protrude outward more than the other.


In cases of breast asymmetry, each woman’s situation is unique. The goal of corrective breast surgery is to surgically rectify the breasts so that they that match each other as closely as possible in both size and shape. This may be best achieved with breast surgery on one breast or both breasts.


Corrective breast surgery may include augmenting one breast and lifting or reducing the other breast, each surgical case is unique and corrective surgery is custom tailored to a patient’s specific individual needs.

At Secret Surgery Ltd, Corrective Breast Surgery also encompasses Nipple Correction Surgery


Nipple Correction Sergery

This is a highly popular procedure for women with “puffy” areola and/or inverted nipples. “Puffy” areola (also known as Protuberant Areola) puts a cone-like cap on the breasts that some women find unattractive. Inverted nipples can cause a great deal of distress, leading to problems when breast feeding as well as resulting in a lack of self confidence.


Most cases of inverted nipples are congenital; however, some nipples become inverted after breastfeeding when scar tissue builds in the milk ducts. Nipples that become inverted after birth are usually caused by one of three things: not enough skin at the base of the nipple, constricted milk ducts, or scarring of the milk ducts due to breastfeeding.


An inverted nipple may appear flat or as a hole or slit-like depression. Nipple correction surgery can restore the nipple to a naturally-projecting appearance.


Following corrective breast surgery, whether it be to the breasts, nipples or both, women have a greater sense of physical balance, more self confidence, a better body image, and greater self esteem. At Secret Surgery Ltd, we often note through our amazing patient testimonials how physical harmony can often create emotional harmony.
