Nipple augmentation is a procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and projection of the nipples, addressing aesthetic or reconstructive concerns. At Dr. Wilson’s Plastic Surgery Office, we offer advanced techniques for nipple enhancement, using either hyaluronic acid or fat grafting for natural-looking results.
Nipple Augmentation with Hyaluronic Acid:
Hyaluronic acid is a dermal filler that can be injected into the nipples to increase volume and projection. This non-surgical option offers immediate results with minimal downtime. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and patients can resume their normal activities shortly afterward. The effects last several months, making it a popular option for those seeking subtle enhancement or correction of nipple asymmetry.
Nipple Augmentation with Fat Grafting:
Fat grafting, or lipofilling, involves harvesting fat from another area of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs) via liposuction, processing it, and then injecting it into the nipples. This technique uses the patient’s own fat, providing a natural, long-lasting result. It not only increases nipple volume but also enhances skin texture and tone, with a lower risk of allergic reactions or rejection. Recovery time may be slightly longer than with hyaluronic acid, but the results are permanent once the fat settles.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Patients with small or inverted nipples seeking enhancement.
Individuals wanting to restore nipple volume after weight loss or breastfeeding.
Those in good general health, looking for a natural, long-lasting solution.
