Aesthetic nipple reconstruction procedures have revolutionized and can now yield attractive results. Studies have shown that when most people, both men and women, view the breasts, their eyes focus onto the area of nipples and areolas. A plastic surgeon can successfully perform a breast reconstruction procedure, but improper nipple reconstruction can completely ruin the aesthetic appearance and affect the patient psychologically.
Although nipple aesthetic procedures aren’t frequently performed as breast augmentation, Los Angeles highly sought procedures; they are the demand of women who are highly meticulous to achieve the optimum aesthetic results. The success of the nipple reconstruction is highly determined by creating nipples which are perfectly located on the mound of the breast and are of the right size, color, shape and texture. It is more challenging to the plastic surgeon to perform unilateral nipple reconstruction, because he has to match the other side’s areola and nipple.
Skilled plastic surgeons are proficient at multiple techniques of nipple reconstruction to go with different breast augmentation procedures. In most cases, skin flaps or grafts are used to replace the lost nipple and areolar tissue. In selected patients, some plastic surgeons use tattooing as the only procedure to successfully reconstruct the nipples. Recently, local flaps are the most commonly utilized reconstruction procedure. The plastic surgeon creates a nipple using the patient’s own fat and covers it with a skin flap. On the other hand, grafting reconstruction procedures are sometimes the right choice for selected patients.
When a prosthetic implant is used for breast augmentation or reconstruction, flap procedures aren’t the best choice as often there is no enough soft tissue to harvest. In these cases, a graft reconstruction technique is often successful. A graft from the other side’s nipple is used and leads to good projection of the reconstructed nipple. This technique is rather easy to perform and can be accomplished successfully in the office. Grafting reconstruction yields excellent results, which are symmetrical to the other side, when performed by a skilful plastic surgeon. Nonetheless, grafting sometimes causes loss of the nipple sensation and erection. Skin grafts can be harvested from several body parts to be used in nipple construction. If the other side’s nipple is not suitable as a graft, most plastic surgeons use a graft from the inner side of the thigh. In rare instances, cartilage grafts are used to reconstruct a deformed nipple. Moreover, tattooing is used to improve the aesthetic appearance of the areola.
