Areola is mostly seen in women during pregnancy and after lactation, often accompanied by large or drooping breasts, while men are more common in male breast dysplasia. Beautiful areola 3-5 cm in diameter. It is not beautiful beyond this standard. The obvious breast relaxation is invisible and the color changes a lot. This is often due to breast enlargement when breastfeeding, and then the breast becomes smaller, so it is often accompanied by breast drooping.
In order to restore the beauty of areola, areola reduction is needed, and the excess part around areola is removed by surgery to restore its size to normal. If it is accompanied by sagging, it can be corrected together. The operation was completed under local anesthesia, and there was no scar after operation. The recovery period is about one week.
Principle of areola reduction
The operation was performed under local anesthesia. Periareolar incision or fan-shaped incision can be used, which does not hurt nipple and breast tissue, and the incision marks remain at the edge of areola or in areola, which is generally not obvious. After operation, just cover the gauze, take antibiotics, and don't change the medicine. The stitches were removed 7-8 days after operation.
Contraindication of areola reduction
1, pregnancy, lactation, cardiac and hepatic insufficiency.
2. Patients with scar constitution and contraindications.
3, the aesthetic angle is too strange, or the postoperative effect is too high.
Indications of areola reduction
1. Women with enlarged areola and black areola after pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding;
2. For women with large congenital areola, the shape of areola is not smooth;
3. Women with asymmetrical breasts.
Preoperative preparation for areola reduction
1. Do not take drugs containing aspirin within two weeks before operation, because aspirin will reduce platelet coagulation function;
2. Patients with hypertension and diabetes should inform the doctor of their condition at the time of initial diagnosis, so that the attending doctor can confirm the operation plan;
3. Make sure that you are in good health before the operation, and there is no infectious disease or other body inflammation;
4, menstrual period, pregnancy, lactation for 6 months is not suitable for surgery.
Postoperative nursing care of areola reduction
1, avoid upper limb movement after operation, and bandage the upper chest if necessary;
2. Breast massage can be started 4 ~ 5 days after operation, and it can be squeezed in all directions, once in the morning and once in the evening to prevent capsular contracture;
3. Take proper amount of vitamin E after operation. If the wound is found to be red and swollen or has a small amount of exudate, physical therapy can be performed when the skin is hard;
4. Sexual life should be avoided within one week after operation, and the breasts should be extra careful within one month thereafter.
Through the above introduction, I hope that women who want to do areola plastic surgery will pay attention to these related precautions before and after the operation.
