Plastic Surgeon in San Francisco Highlights Solution for Inverted Nipples
Dr. Karen Horton Reveals the Common Cause of Inverted Nipples and Touches on a Viable Treatment Option for Women Experiencing the Condition
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/19/14 -- Though they are normal and often occur naturally, inverted nipples can be the source of self-consciousness and even embarrassment for many women, says Karen Horton, MD. In an effort to help those who are bothered by the appearance of this condition, Dr. Horton offers a procedure specifically designed to correct inverted nipples. She notes that this operation -- which is commonly referred to as inverted nipple correction or repair -- has not only helped restore a more desired nipple projection for many patients, but it has also dramatically aided in the improvement of their overall self-confidence and esteem.
According to Dr. Horton, one of the most is congenital development, although infection of the nipple following a piercing or breast surgery can also lead to the condition. When congenital development is the cause, tight bands running from the surface of the breast tissue to the nipple pull the nipple inward, which ultimately creates the inversion. While this can be limited to one nipple for some women, others can experience the same or varying degrees of inversion on both nipples.
At her practice, Dr. Horton says the involves cutting of the aforementioned constricting bands one at a time until the desired projection is achieved for the nipple. Following surgery, a specialized stitch and customized splint are then used to protect and support the nipple as it heals. The San Francisco Plastic Surgeon also notes that any potential scarring is generally concealed in the undersurface of the nipple, and non-strenuous work can often be resumed after about one to two days.
Though include the chance for a recurrence of inversion as well as a decrease and/or loss of nipple sensation, Dr. Horton stresses that these possible side-effects are rare, and patients are consistently pleased with their results. Additionally, she notes that many women are still capable of , but she often recommends they wait until they are done having kids to avoid any post-surgical complications. In fact, she says, inverted nipples can sometimes be corrected naturally by breastfeeding.
Ultimately, Dr. Horton seeks to inform and educate women about the many cosmetic options they have available to them, and by addressing both the benefits and risks associated with inverted nipple correction, she says she hopes to empower them to make the best decisions for their own bodies.
