Nipple elevation surgery successfully enhances nipple projection while preserving sensory and lactating functions. This technique uses duct release and sutures for stable, aesthetic results.

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Aesthetic Surgery

Background:

  • Nipple projection is crucial for aesthetic appearance.
  • Maintaining nipple function (sensory and lactating) is a key consideration in surgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a surgical technique for nipple elevation.
  • To achieve aesthetically pleasing and stable nipple projection.
  • To preserve nipple sensory and lactating functions post-procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Surgical release of retracting lactiferous ducts and fibrous bands.
  • Utilizing loupes magnification for precision.
  • Employing a two-layer suture technique to maintain nipple height.

Main Results:

  • Satisfying nipple projection was achieved.
