How to prepare for nipple correction

Before surgery, patients should have a consultation with a plastic surgeon. The following examinations and laboratory tests are usually required:

• Complete blood count (CBC);

• Electrocardiogram (ECG);

• Chest fluorography (or chest X-ray if indicated);

• Hepatitis screening;

• HIV/AIDS and syphilis tests;

• Breast ultrasound;

• Blood clotting (coagulation) test;

• Urinalysis.

Patients should avoid alcohol, smoking, and blood-thinning medications for two weeks before surgery unless otherwise instructed by their physician.

Rehabilitation after surgery

To minimize the risk of postoperative complications, our surgeons provide each patient with detailed postoperative instructions. Following these recommendations is essential.

The recovery period usually lasts about two weeks. During this time, patients should:

• Wear a special supportive bra or compression garment that does not put excessive pressure on the nipples;

• Keep the surgical sutures dry and prevent water from reaching them;

• Avoid baths, saunas, swimming pools, hot tubs, and sunbathing;

• Sleep only on the back or side;

• Clean the surgical sutures with antiseptic solutions as prescribed by the surgeon.
