Saftey Factors Involving 3 Procedures
Although all three procedures can certainly be performed at the same time, I personally would delay the nipple treatment until later for three reasons. Healing is a concern depending on how far the nipple is moved and how tense the closure may be. Secondly, a minor nipple inversion may be helped by the other two procedures to the point where the patient no longer wants or needs a nipple procedure. Finally, it is well documented that the ducts from the breast near the opening on the nipple contain bacteria. The last thing anyone would want is a post op infection, especially when implants are used. Safety is of critical importance in elective cosmetic surgery and risk of complication should be far less than for necessary surgery both elective or urgent. Getting away with something is probably not in the patient’s best interest. At PREMIERE Center, we have been practicing the breast augmentation and mastopexy surgical procedures for over 18 years with our board certified plastic surgeons on staff ready to consult with you at either our Coral Gables / Tampa locations. Best of luck in your ultimate decision!
