Many nipple procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and as day surgery. A protective dressing is worn in the patient’s bra during the healing process.
You may wish to allow 1-2 weeks to recover following surgery depending on your occupation. Additionally, Mr Molajo requests that you avoid heavy lifting and activities that cause bouncing for 6 weeks.
The decision to have nipple correction surgery is very personal. Mr Molajo will discuss the treatment options and alternatives to assist your decision.
Nipple correction patients are usually very happy, but certain risks require consideration. Risks common to all surgery such as, but not limited to: bleeding, infection and unpredictable scarring.
