For all these reasons, aesthetic problems observed in the nipple also carry the risk of causing physical or psychological problems.

Collapsed Breast Surgery
Different techniques can be applied depending on the degree of the problem in breast collapse, the main goal of the procedure is to pull the collapsed nipple out without damaging the milk ducts. In mild and moderate cases, it is possible to treat the problem with a minor surgical intervention without the need to touch the milk ducts. In this procedure, which is done with special magnifying glasses in order not to damage the milk ducts, the parts that pull the nipple in are released and if necessary, supporting tissues are added to the base of the nipple in order to prevent the problem from recurring. Thus, a natural and aesthetic appearance is obtained.
Nipple Reduction
If the nipple is excessively large or wide, the problem can be corrected with a tiny incision made from the nipple. The most important issue when making an incision is not to cut and damage the milk ducts. With the incision made, the excess tissue on the nipple is removed and the size of the nipple is reduced. The planning of such interventions is evaluated according to the problem, so that the size of the nipple can be reduced, the length of the nipple can be shortened or the width of the surrounding brown area can be reduced to ideal proportions with a simple operation. If the brown area is small, a symmetrical look can be obtained with skin pieces taken from various parts of the body.
Nipple Reconstruction
In some cases, the nipple may be lost due to congenital or past traumas, diseases and cancers. In such cases, it is necessary to reconstruct the nipple and the surrounding areola. For this, the skin in the area where the nipple will be made is usually used, but sometimes tissue can be taken from other parts of the body or the tip of a healthy breast can be attached to the person with the help of breast transplantation. As a result, it is ensured that the nipple and tip are reconstructed and added in appropriate sizes and appearance to the person.
Recovery After Nipple Surgery
Kaş kaldırma işlemi birden fazla tekniklerle yapılabildiğinden sonrasında yaşanacak iyileşme süreci de buna göre farklılaşır. Genel olarak ameliyatsız tekniklerde operasyon süresi daha kısa, hasta konforu daha yüksek, iyileşme hızı ise daha fazladır. Bu nedenle işlemden sonra hastane yatışı gerekmez, ayrıca özel enjektörler veya cihazlar kullanılarak uygulandığından herhangi bir kesi yapılmaz. En sık kullanılan ameliyatsız teknik olan botulinum toksin uygulaması sonunda günlük hayata geri dönülmesinde bir sorun yoktur ancak hastadan bir süre güneşe çıkmamak, yüzüstü yatmamak ve bölgeye darbe almamak gibi temel hususlara dikkat edilmesi istenir.
Lokal veya sedasyon tekniği ile yapılan invaziv tekniklerde ise operasyon süresi daha uzundur ancak hasta konforu mümkün olduğunda yüksek tutulur. Kullanılan teknik ne olursa olsun genellikle hasta yatışı gerekmez ve taburculuk işlemleri 1-2 saat içinde tamamlanır. İşlem sonundaki etkilerin kalıcı olması nedeniyle bu teknikler ameliyatsız yöntemlere göre daha avantajlıdır ancak her teknikte farklı bir dikiş veya sabitleme materyali kullanılır.
- Dikiş ve zımba kullanılarak yapılan işlemlerde bu malzemelerin alınması 7 ila 10 günü bulabilir.
- İyileşme süreci boyunca kişinin kendini yormaması, aşırı yorucu ve terletici aktivitelerden kaçınması, güneşe çıkmaması şartıyla günlük aktivitelerine devam etmesinde bir sorun bulunmaz.
- Her ameliyatta olduğu gibi kaş kaldırma ameliyatlarından sonra da bölgede morluk ve şişlik oluşabilir. Bu problemlerin giderilmesi için hekim tarafından reçete edilen ilaçların kullanılması gerekir. Ayrıca bölgeye soğuk press uygulamaları yapılabilir.
- Genel olarak işlemden sonraki ilk 2 gün kaşları fazla hareket ettirmemek ve bölgeyi darbelerden korumak gerekir.
Uygulanan tekniğin detaylarına bağlı olarak iyileşme sürecinde ufak değişiklikler olabilir ancak medikal turizm açısından en kaliteli adreslerden olan Türkiye, düşük maliyetli ve üst düzey kaliteli hizmetleri ile öne çıkar. Uluslararası düzeyde ve kişinin ihtiyacına göre planlanan kaş kaldırma operasyonları sonunda ideal görünüme en kısa sürede sahip olunabilir.
