Before nipple reduction surgery, the doctor will tell mommy not to take contraceptives, vitamin E drugs, aspirin and other drugs before surgery, and will check mommy's body before surgery (for example, patients with coagulation dysfunction are not suitable for surgery). According to different nipple sizes, the following nipple plastic surgery can be performed:
1, nipple is thick and long.
Anesthesia should be performed before nipple surgery. General anesthesia is to use 2% lidocaine and a little adrenaline to infiltrate the anesthetic into the nipple base, then pull the nipple with 3/O silk thread, cut the nipple vertically from the top to the base, and split it in two. This incision crosses the second incision through half of the base, cuts the other nipple, folds the other nipple, and sews it to the edge of the original nipple with 5/O silk thread. Seven days after the operation,
2. The nipple is thick and short
Mainly after anesthesia, 1/3 or 2/5 nipples are removed, and then most of the remaining nipples are pulled and sutured. When designing the nipple incision, doctors usually design triangular blocks above the nipple and areola, and rectangular blocks at the nipple column, which is convenient for contraposition suture and will not form "cat ears".
3. The nipple is too thick and too long
When two situations occur, the above two operations need to be carried out. Generally, it can be recovered in two weeks after operation, but some mothers are in poor health and the recovery time will be longer.
In addition, nipple reduction is mainly aimed at postpartum mommy and can only be carried out after six months of lactation. It should be noted that irregular nipple reduction surgery has side effects such as nipple numbness, nipple necrosis and breastfeeding, so it is best for unmarried and childless women to avoid surgery. For mothers who are considering having a second child and have plans to have nipple reduction surgery, they should carefully choose plastic surgery institutions.
