Nipple Areola Reconstruction:
What is Nipple Areola Reconstruction?
Nipple Areola Reconstruction (NAR) is a transformative procedure often chosen as the final step in breast reconstruction following mastectomy or trauma. Sometimes, due to Burn, Trauma, or after removal of Breast cancer, the Nipple Areola Complex is often destroyed. We use special techniques to reconstruct such lost nipples by Flap from Local Tissue, Tattooing and Full Thickness Skin Grafting.
The Procedure
At Saraswat Hospital, our skilled surgeons use advanced techniques to craft a nipple and areola that closely match your natural anatomy. Options include:
- Skin Flap Technique: In this technique, tissues from the reconstructed breast are shaped into a nipple and followed by tattooing to recreate the areola’s color and texture.
- Skin Graft: In some cases, skin from another area (e.g., inner thigh) is used for a more defined result.
- 3D Tattooing: This is a non-surgical procedure where pigments are applied to create a realistic nipple-areola complex.
The procedure is typically outpatient, performed under local anesthesia, and takes about 1-2 hours.
Aftercare
- Healing time for the initial recovery takes 1-2 weeks, with full settling in 3-6 months.
- Keep the treated area clean and dry, avoid any pressure on the site, and follow the instructions suggested by the doctor.
- After the treatment, regularly visit the doctor for follow-ups to ensure proper healing and symmetry.
Nipple Inversion Correction
What is Nipple Inversion?
A Nipple Inversion is a condition where the nipple is retracted into the breast instead of pointing outward. Nipple inversion is classified into 3 grades according to the severity of the condition:
Grade 1: Can be pulled out easily and maintain this projection. This type will also respond to external stimulation.
Grade 2: Can be relatively easily pulled out but tends to retract easily.
Grade 3: Is severely retracted and difficult to pull out manually. There are various ways of correcting it depending on its degree. We use a Hammock Flap for it’s correction.
Nipple Areola Reconstruction (NAR) is a transformative procedure often chosen as the final step in breast reconstruction following mastectomy or trauma. Sometimes, due to Burn, Trauma, or after removal of Breast cancer, the Nipple Areola Complex is often destroyed. We use special techniques to reconstruct such lost nipples by Flap from Local Tissue, Tattooing and Full Thickness Skin Grafting.
The Procedure
Our expert surgeons at Saraswat Hospital offer safe correction tailored to the severity of inversion:
- Mild Cases: Non-surgical methods like suction devices may be recommended.
- Surgical Correction: For moderate to severe cases, a small opening releases the tethered tissues or ducts, allowing the nipple to protrude naturally. The procedure preserves sensation and breastfeeding ability whenever possible.
Performed under local anesthesia, this quick procedure (30-60 minutes) offers immediate results.
Aftercare
- Healing takes 1-2 weeks with minimal discomfort.
- Wear loose clothes, apply prescribed creams, and abstain from any strenuous activity during the healing time.
- Regular check-ups and follow-ups to ensure proper positioning and healing.
Breast Reconstruction
What is Breast Reconstruction?
Breast Reconstruction is done in a case where the Breast has been removed due to Cancer. It means the rebuilding of a breast, in a woman using autologous tissue (tissue from different parts of the same person) or prosthetic material like Silicone Implants to construct a natural-looking breast. Often, this includes the reformation of a natural-looking areola and nipple. This procedure involves the use of implants or relocated flaps of the patient’s own tissue.
The Procedure
The procedure is offered by the following options:
- Implant-Based Reconstruction: Silicone or saline implants are placed to recreate the breast mound.
- Autologous Tissue Reconstruction: Tissue from your body (e.g., abdomen or back) is used for a natural feel and look.
- Combination Approach: Implants and tissue flaps are combined for optimal results.
The procedure may be immediate (during mastectomy) or delayed, depending on your treatment plan, and is performed under general anesthesia.
Aftercare
- Initial recovery for the breast reconstruction procedure takes 4-6 weeks, with full visible results in 6-12 months.
- Rest, avoid lifting heavy objects, and wear clothes as advised by doctors.
- Regular appointments with the surgeon to monitor healing and address any adjustments.
Breast Reconstruction
What is Breast Lump Management?
A breast lump can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), requiring expert evaluation and treatment. At Saraswat Hospital, we provide comprehensive care, from diagnosis to removal, ensuring your peace of mind.
Occasionally in females, there may be benign (not cancerous) lumps called Fibroadenoma. In such cases, after confirming the diagnosis with simple tests like FNAC & Mammography, a Cosmetic Surgeon removes the lumps in such a way that the scar marks are hardly visible. This is especially useful in females for whom the invisibility or conspicuity of scar matters a lot. A cosmetic Surgeon puts very fine sutures in such a way that there is hardly any scar visible after a few months.
The Procedure
- Diagnosis: Lumps are assessed using ultrasound, mammography, or biopsy to determine their nature.
- Treatment:
- Benign Lumps: Options include monitoring, aspiration (fluid removal), or surgical excision if symptomatic.
- Malignant Lumps: Lumpectomy (removal of the lump with surrounding tissue) or mastectomy may be recommended, often followed by reconstruction.
Procedures vary from outpatient (for minor excisions) to inpatient (for complex cases), with anesthesia tailored to the treatment.
Aftercare
- Recovery time ranges from 1 to 4 weeks, depending on the procedure.
- Keep the treated site clean, avoid any strenuous activity, and take prescribed medications to manage pain and prevent any infection.
- Post-procedure check-ups are mandatory to ensure complete healing.
