What Can I Expect Following Nipple and Areola Surgery?
When performed independently, most nipple and areola surgeries require little downtime or recovery. Following your nipple and areola surgery in Beverly Hills & Santa Monica, you are free to return home to rest. Swelling, bruising, and minor discomfort are normal, which subsides in 24 to 48 hours. You must sleep on your back in the week after your surgery to allow for your nipples to heal. Dr. Shafa will provide detailed aftercare instructions and communicate closely with you throughout your recovery.
