Some women are worried that they have a big halo of nipples. What can be done with this problem? And is it so terrible?
Around the nipple of the breast is located the so-called. Areola. Normally, the diameter is from 3 to 5 cm, but sometimes there are very large areola nipples. Medicine does not consider such an occurrence pathology, but women may experience some psychological discomfort. It is clear that our society has its own standards and prejudices, and anything that does not fit into the usual can be condemned. Yes, and a woman who realizes that she is different from everyone can suffer from different complexes, even if no one has ever given her a reason to think badly about herself.
During pregnancy, the areola nipples markedly increase. Also, the shape of the breast can change . If the nipple becomes elongated, this causes inconvenience to many women. They may feel insecure or suffer from various complexes. Sometimes, because of the change in the shape of the nipple, it becomes impossible to breast-feed.
Sometimes the areola increases after delivery or prolonged breastfeeding. In some cases, the cause of this phenomenon is mammoplasty. And for some women, the big halo of the nipples is congenital.
If such a phenomenon worries the patient, it is possible to solve the problem in an operative way. Reduction and a breast lift or endoprosthetics are performed. The tissue area around the areola or nipple is excised, and the lower layers of skin and breast tissue are not affected. Previously, after such operations, lactation became impossible. However, modern methods of microsurgery are currently used, in which the milk ducts are not affected. As a result, a woman can remove a large halo of nipples, get rid of her complexes and prejudices and save the opportunity to breast-feed the baby.
If there is too much aureole of the nipples, it is also possible to perform a vertical incision directed to the pantograph from the nipple. This seam is sewn up and after a few months it becomes almost indistinguishable. Excess tissues are removed during the operation. With this method, a large nape of the nipples can be reduced to 4 cm in diameter. The incision is made small, only 1 cm long. This allows you to make the operation outwardly invisible and normally spread the nipple.
During the operation, the skin is tightened, due to which the lifting effect is achieved. The procedure does not require a hospital stay and lasts only an hour. General anesthesia is not carried out - everything happens when using local anesthesia. In 2 days the patient can return to her usual life. Edema and hematomas after the operation are rapid, within a few days. Sensitivity of the nipples becomes familiar after about 2 months. Despite the fact that the operation does not belong to the category of complex, it is important to clearly follow all the prescriptions of doctors. For example, take antibiotics, if necessary. Otherwise, you risk getting complications, incl. Inflammatory nature.
