The Intervention
The operation takes about an hour and is performed under local anaesthesia. Via a small incision made on the external part of the areola, the surgeon withdraws a part of the pigmented skin.
This procedure leaves a scar around the areola fine. It has no impact on the possibility of breastfeeding as it preserves the milk ducts.
Results and Post-Operative Treatment
The patient can return home on the day of the intervention. The area can present some swelling and some redness, as well as a feeling of discomfort for a few days; these effects however will fade of their own accord. Painkillers can relieve the postoperative pain. This intervention will leave a thin scar around the areola. It has no consequence on the possibility of breastfeeding since it preserves the lactiferous channels.
