Each patient will have specific concerns about the size, shape, and projection of their nipples. Some may be unhappy with enlarged areolas as well. Dr. Savalia will address these issues through a customized treatment plan that takes into account your chest size, aesthetic tastes, lifestyle, and overall health. The surgery can be performed under general or local anesthesia on an outpatient basis.
To balance overly large nipples, Dr. Savalia will remove a small amount of skin and then taper the remaining skin closed, as though tightening purse strings. In cases where the nipples are facing downwards, he will utilize breast lift techniques to achieve a perkier breast profile. Finally, to correct puffy areolas, Dr. Savalia will make an incision encircling the pigmented area and remove a portion of the unwanted skin.
The first step in evaluating your candidacy is for you to attend a private consultation with Newport Beach plastic surgeon, Dr. Savalia. During this initial session, he will assess your cosmetic concerns, review your medical history, answer your questions, and present you with a customized treatment plan for resolving your issues. Good surgical candidates are physically and emotionally healthy non-smokers who are realistic in what they hope their surgery will achieve.
Women with the following concerns will be a good match for the procedure:
At Savalia Plastic Surgery, the patient experience and support are just as important as the end result.
Nipple correction, whether to reduce or augment the size of the nipples, can be well-paired with breast augmentation, breast revision, mastopexy, or breast reduction, the end result being breasts that are aesthetically balanced and pleasing. The procedure can also be performed alongside abdominoplasty, lipouction, or facial rejuvenation techniques.
Recovery after nipple and areola correction is far less demanding and time-consuming than that which occurs after breast augmentation or mastopexy. Most patients are able to return to work within a few days or by the end of the first week. Light exercise can be resumed within about three days. You will need to avoid wearing compressive or restrictive garments for the first few weeks in order to give your nipples time and space to heal. Instead of wearing a bra, you can opt for a camisole.

A., Google ReviewDr. Savalia and his staff cared for me when I needed it most. I needed to have some breast tissue removed for review, and he was able to rapidly qualify me for a breast reduction as well for my back pain in long ongoing issues. I’m incredibly pleased with the results, and was shocked how little to no pain I had post surgery. As a registered nurse, I was very impressed with his bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I would highly recommend him and choose him over and over again if I had a choice.

Consultations with Dr. Savalia are relaxed and informative, never rushed or impersonal.
In my practice, I see a lot of patients who are concerned that their breasts are showing their age. Growing older naturally leads to changes in reproductive hormones that dictate the tissue and structure of breasts. The result is that, over time, your breasts begin to lose their firmness and fullness. While this process is […]
