What to Expect on the Day of Inverted Nipple Correction Surgery
On the day of your inverted nipple correction surgery in Pearland and the Houston area, you can expect a welcoming environment designed to help you feel comfortable and relaxed, with a team that will leave no stone unturned for your comfort and success.
The procedure typically begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery. Dr. Hankins will then make small incisions around the base of the nipple to access the underlying tissues. He will use delicate techniques to release the tethering tissue, causing the nipple to invert and protrude naturally.
In some cases, Dr. Hankins may use internal sutures to support the newly corrected nipple position. The incisions are then closed with delicate stitches, and a dressing is applied to protect the area as it heals. We aim to prioritize your safety, well-being, and satisfaction, ensuring a positive surgical experience with every step of the procedure.
Inverted Nipple Correction Recovery
During the recovery period following your Inverted nipple correction procedure, you may experience mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the treated area. It’s essential to avoid strenuous activities and follow Dr. Hankins’ recommendations for rest during this time. You will likely need to wear a particular supportive garment or dressing to protect the area as it heals. Most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week, depending on the extent of the procedure and individual healing.
