Nipple Reconstruction<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1565181520907{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Inverted nipples refer to a condition in which the nipple, instead of protruding outward as normal, is pulled inward, \u201cdisappearing\u201d into the breast.<\/p>\n

This condition can occur in both women and men and may affect one or both nipples. It is usually caused by fibrous tissue that pulls the nipple inward. Beyond being an aesthetic concern, it can also lead to functional problems: women with inverted nipples may have difficulty breastfeeding, and inflammation of the nipple is common.<\/p>\n

It is important to pay special attention if a nipple becomes inverted suddenly, especially if it occurs on only one side, as this can be a sign of breast cancer. In such cases, immediate consultation with a doctor is necessary to determine whether it is purely an aesthetic issue or if there is an underlying medical condition.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1565181520907{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

The Surgical Procedure<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1565181520907{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Treatment is surgical and can be performed under local anesthesia. A minimal incision is made at the base of the nipple, through which the fibrous tissue that is holding the nipple inward is released.<\/p>\n

The tissues are repositioned to prevent recurrence of the problem. The area is then reshaped with sutures, and the skin is carefully closed so that the nipple achieves a healthy, natural projection.<\/p>\n

In most cases, the continuity of the milk ducts and the ability to breastfeed are preserved, although in some instances, the duct may need to be cut.<\/p>\n

The results are permanent, with a very low rate of recurrence.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1565181520907{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Hypertrophic Nipples<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1565181520907{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]In this morphological anomaly, the nipples appear enlarged and hypertrophic, while the areola is usually normal in size.<\/p>\n

The cause of this condition is unknown, and it can often appear after multiple pregnancies, although it never affects the breast\u2019s function.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1565181520907{padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

The results are considered satisfactory and permanent, while simultaneously restoring the patient\u2019s sexual well-being and psychological health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1570375160399{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;background-color: #4870a3 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_raw_html css=””]JTNDaDUlMjBzdHlsZSUzRCUyMmNvbG9yJTNBJTIwJTIzZmZmJTNCJTIwdGV4dC1hbGlnbiUzQSUyMGNlbnRlciUzQiUyMiUzRUNvbnRhY3QlMjB0aGUlMjBEb2N0b3IlMjBmb3IlMjBtb3JlJTIwaW5mb3JtYXRpb24lM0MlMkZoNSUzRSUwQQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_btn title=”Contact Us” style=”custom” custom_background=”#ffffff” custom_text=”#666666″ shape=”round” align=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1774027221713{margin-top: 28px !important;}” link=”url:%2Fen%2Fcontact-us%2F” el_id=”ipiresies-epikinonia”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1569133615232{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
