Nipple Surgery

Nipple Surgery in Dallas, Texas

Introduction

Introduction to Nipple Surgery

While it’s completely normal to have large or asymmetrical nipples, that doesn’t mean that we always feel the most confident or comfortable with how they look. Typically, due to genetics, or in some cases trauma or effects from previous surgeries, the nipple can be a sensitive area for many individuals, but there are solutions to correcting it. In Dallas, TX, Dr. Rai offers nipple surgery for individuals who are unhappy with the shape, size, or balance of their nipples. This can be done as a stand-alone procedure or in conjunction with other forms of breast augmentation, such as a lift or implants.

What is Nipple Surgery?

The nipple-areola complex is the central part of the breast form. Ideally, the nipple-areola complex is at the perfect center of breasts, and of a circumference and the size that is proportionate to the shape and size of breasts. It should exist in perfect balance and harmony with the rest of the breast. Any imbalance between these can negatively affect the beauty of the breasts.

  • Malproportions of the nipples and areolae
  • Malpositions of the nipples and areolae
  • Inverted nipples
  • Issues related to the size of the nipples

Malproportions can be either a too large or too small areolar diameter. Correction of malproportions:

  • Too small an areolar diameter can be surgically enlarged to increase its size
  • Too large an areolar diameter can similarly be reduced to a proportionate size.

  • Too high a Nipple-Areolar complex gives a “sky gazing” effect to nipples. In these situations, most of the breast fullness exists below the nipples. Thus, breasts themselves appear to be bottoming out. This can occur naturally in some patients. In others, it happens as a result of a breast augmentation. Implants that are placed too low at the time of surgery or dissected down after surgery can displace the nipples up on the breast surface.

    Too low a Nipple-Areolar complex can be present naturally in some patients. It can occur later in life from the sagging of the breasts. Breast sagging can occur naturally as part of the aging process. It can also occur after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Loss of weight can also result in sagging breasts. A low position can also occur when large implants are placed behind the muscles during a breast augmentation as well. 

  • The corrective strategy is based on a thorough evaluation of the cause of the malposition. Congenitally occurring, high positions can be lowered by raising the level of the breasts on the chest. If the malposition is caused by too low or too high a position of the breast implants, the implant position will need to be corrected. It may require changing the entire pocket of the breast implants, either from behind the muscle to placement in front of the muscle or vice versa.

    Correction of the nipple areola from sagging will require correction of the breast sag.

    We recommend an in-person evaluation to develop a customized approach to addressing these issues. Call us at 972-566-6500 or email us to set up your consultation. 

    Inverted Nipples can be corrected with a simple outpatient surgical procedure. This can be undertaken as a standalone procedure or in conjunction with other surgeries.

    The size of nipples is also an important part of breast aesthetics. Very large nipples can cause embarrassing projection through clothes. It is possible to reduce them to an acceptable ideal projection by surgery. 

    All good surgeries are about balance and harmony. Illustrative examples of all the above can be found in our picture galleries under the “Breast Revisions” and “Breast Lift” sections.

Who Are the Best Candidates For Nipple Surgery?

If you’re in the Dallas, TX, area, thinking about getting nipple surgery with Dr. Rai, you may be a good candidate if you:

  • Are over the age of 18
  • Are dissatisfied with the shape, size, or balance of your nipples, whether due to genetics, a previous surgery, or trauma to the area
  • Are in generally good health, and do not smoke (or are willing to quit several weeks before and after surgery)
  • Have realistic expectations about the potential of what this surgery could achieve.

If you’re unsure whether you fit into any of these categories, the best course of action is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rai at our Dallas office.

What Are the Benefits of Nipple Surgery?

Generally, patients report experiencing both physical and psychological benefits from undergoing the procedure. Physically, their nipples align more harmoniously with their breast or chest shape and size, resulting in a more balanced and proportionate appearance. Mentally, they experience a sense of relief and self-confidence, especially in situations where others are likely to observe them, such as in intimate settings. For others who may have struggled with protruding nipples, having them corrected can be physically more comfortable, as they no longer deal with chaffing against shirts or other forms of clothing.

What’s the First Step?

Your Nipple Surgery Journey with Surjit Rai, MD

To begin the process of nipple surgery, your first step will be to schedule a consultation with Dr. Rai in Dallas, TX, where we will go over your concerns, medical history, and ultimate goals with the surgery. You’ll undergo a physical examination, during which Dr. Rai will evaluate your anatomy in relation to your goals, and may use digital imaging to visualize potential results. This is an opportunity to ask questions and be completely open about what you’d like to get out of the surgery, so that you can make a conscious, informed decision before moving forward. You’ll receive pre- and post-operative instructions, and then your pre-surgical visit can be scheduled.

What to Expect on the Day of Nipple Surgery

Your surgery will be performed in our Dallas surgical facility, where Dr. Rai will begin by marking the areas of incision and administering either local or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Throughout the procedure, Dr. Rai will diligently manipulate the skin with small incisions, either cutting away excess skin and fat or moving the skin in place, to create the shape agreed upon during your consultation. The entire process is surprisingly quick, taking anywhere from a half hour to an hour, after which you’ll be sent home with instructions on how to begin the recovery process.

Nipple Surgery Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Nipple Surgery Care

The recovery process from nipple surgery lasts for several weeks and involves immediate swelling, which will gradually subside. You’ll likely need to wear a surgical bra or compression garment to keep your nipples safe and secure throughout this time. Exercise should be avoided, although light movements, such as walking, can help improve circulation during the healing process. Check with Dr. Rai before proceeding, as he will give you the clearance when it is appropriate to ensure safe and effective healing.

How Much Does Nipple Surgery Cost in Dallas, TX?

The cost of nipple surgery in Dallas really depends on the individual, their goals, and concerns.

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Rai and his team.

    From the very first consultation, he listened with compassion, answered all of my questions, and made me feel completely supported in my decision to explant.

    The surgery itself went smoothly, and the results exceeded my expectations. What truly stood out, though, was the phenomenal aftercare. Dr. Rai and his staff checked in consistently, responded quickly whenever I had concerns, and made sure I felt cared for every step of the way.

    I’m forever grateful for Dr. Rai and his team.

    They are so thorough, nice, calming, reassuring, supportive…. I could go on and on. I would recommend Dr. Rai over and over! You simply cannot go Wrong with making him your choice. My favorite thing about the whole process was after surgery HE personally calls and emails you until you are released from his care. HE personally talks to you on the phone and shows that he gives a crap about his patient. It’s not just a paycheck to Dr. Rai, he truly cares and actually shows it. You don’t have many drs SHOWING their genuine care outside of your surgery day. He’s there for his patients and I’m grateful for it bc he calmed so much anxiety!!! Plus, his work is WONDERFUL! 100/10 recommend!

    I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Surjit Rai and his staff!

     They were exceptional, from the time I made my appointment to my consultation, my surgery and post op care. The front desk staff made the scheduling easy, the pre and post op nurse was kind and put my nerves at ease. Dr. Rai is a skilled surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner, he explained the surgery and outcome very clearly and provided personal post op support. I am a nurse in the medical field and I would highly recommend him as a surgeon.
