The ideal candidate for those desiring nipple reduction surgery in Los Angeles is an individual in good health and with realistic expectations regarding the procedure.
Procedure
A nipple reduction is performed by making small incisions and using very fine sutures. Depending on if the nipple reduction is performed alone or with other procedures, the patient can be sedated with general anesthesia or done with local anesthesia. The nipple remains attached to the breast throughout the procedure. The surgeon only removes the parts necessary to achieve the patient's ideal look. However, since nipple size varies from individual to individual, the actual procedure will differ to accommodate this difference. Any visible scarring from the surgery is minimal or virtually undetectable; one of the many reasons Dr. Casper has become renowned as providing the best results in nipple reduction surgery Los Angeles has available.
Recovery
Following nipple reduction surgery in Dr. Casper's Los Angeles facility, patients often experience some discomfort and soreness on the operated area. This can be alleviated by oral pain medication your surgeon will prescribe for you. Patients are encouraged to avoid any strenuous or sexual activities for at least seven to ten days. This will allow the area to heal properly. Patients can expect to return to their daily routines within a day or two after surgery, if the nipple reduction is performed by itself. If it was performed in conjunction with other treatments, recovery time is extended.
