Inverted nipples are a fairly common occurrence among women, but the subject is not discussed widely. Many women prefer to treat it as a private issue and do not wish to admit it publicly about having inverted nipples. Cosmetic surgery can be used to correct this condition, if a woman is bothered by the appearance of breasts due to inverted nipples.

Dr. Bryson Richards is a dedicated plastic surgeon providing state of the art aesthetic and reconstructive surgeries for the breast, body and face. Dr. Richards also offers proven and effective corrective solutions for conditions such as inverted nipples. He receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and surrounding locations.

General Causes

Inverted nipples may not necessarily occur in pairs, and some women may only have one. Whether the position of the nipple is truly inverted or just shy can be determined by a three-level grading system. Physical causes in each level are usually different from each other. Plastic surgery may be necessary in moderate to severe cases of inverted nipples. General causes include:

• The woman may have inverted nipples by birth.
• Following breastfeeding, the milk ducts may have been damaged or become fibrous and retracted, which can pull the nipples inwards.
• Previous surgeries may have caused scar tissue formation, which can create nipple inversion.
• Breast cancer may be the cause of an inverted nipple.
• With age, the breast skin may sag and the skin around the nipples may become loose, leading to inversion.
• Any infection in the breast may cause inflammation, resulting in fibrous scar tissue pulling the nipple inwards.
• Some women may have inverted nipples during pregnancy.

Dr. Richards is an experienced cosmetic surgeon providing effective treatments for inverted nipple to patients in Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas.

Grade 1 Inverted Nipple – Causes

Commonly known as a “shy” nipple, grade 1 inverted nipple can be coaxed out or stimulated to protrude like a normal nipple. A cold therapy or massage may be used to achieve this correction through stimulation. This condition is not linked with breastfeeding problems because the milk ducts remain unaffected. The primary causes of this condition are unknown.

Grade 2 Inverted Nipple – Causes

Correction in grade 2 inverted nipple can be achieved in a similar way as with grade 1 inversion. But the problem in this case is that once the pressure is released, the nipple returns to its inverted position. Fibrosis and mild retraction of the milk ducts are the key causes behind this condition. In other words, the nipple is constantly getting pulled in by fibers into the breast.

Grade 3 Inverted Nipple – Causes

These are the truly inverted nipples, which will be permanently inverted and not seen to be protruding at any time. Women hoping to breastfeed commonly seek surgical correction of this condition because breastfeeding is compromised with this condition. Severe fibrosis and short milk ducts are the main causes of grade 3 inverted nipples. Short milk duct implies that the nipple is pulled inward and physically attached to tissue within the breast.

The final outcome in breast augmentation cosmetic surgery procedure will be impacted by the type and size of implants that a patient has chosen. Therefore, it is advisable to discuss the size aspect closely with the surgeon and make the optimal decision. Dr. Bryson Richards is an experienced plastic surgeon providing breast implants and other procedures to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding communities.

Choosing the Implant Size

Breast implants are available in various sizes ranging from 120cc to 960cc. A number of factors should be considered while choosing the size of implants:

Personal Aesthetic Goals

Breast augmentation plastic surgery is usually performed for aesthetic reasons. Whether the patient has a goal to make the under-sized breasts more proportionate to the rest of the body, or she simply desires more voluptuous breasts even though the current breast size is normal, will make a difference to the size choice.

Natural Breast Size

One of the limitations in choosing the breast implants will be the size of natural breasts. The breasts should have sufficient extra tissue to cover the implant without causing rippling or other problems. If only limited tissue is available, it may not be possible to choose very large implant sizes.

Breadth of Chest and Shoulders

The chest and shoulder breadth or the size of the frame will differ for each patient. Breast implants are typically available with different base widths. Therefore, the patient will have to choose a size that works well with her frame.

Personal Lifestyle

Breast implant surgery is a long-term procedure. An experienced cosmetic surgeon will discuss the patient’s lifestyle in order to make the right recommendation of implant size. Women who enjoy playing outdoor sports, running, climbing, swimming, body building or perform other physically straining activities, may do better with a moderate size of implants. Large implant sizes may hamper their ability to exercise optimally.

Proportion and Symmetry

The choice of implant sizes is not just about how bigger the breasts may appear. It is also about creating the right proportion and symmetry to make the breasts more visually appealing. Many women seek breast augmentation surgery just to achieve more even and symmetrical breasts.

In such cases, the size of implants will be chosen accordingly, and some women may have to use differently sized implants on each side. Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby locations for breast implant surgery.

Profile Appearance

When selecting the implant size, the patient will also have to consider what kind of profile she wants. If the patient desires a moderate profile, she may have to choose implants with minimal projection. These implants will not stick out much from the chest, and are usually well-suited for patients with a wide chest.

Women who seek a slightly higher profile than a moderate profile may choose moderate-plus profile. These implants will project slightly more than moderate implants, and will be marginally tapered. These are good for women with a small and narrow chest.

High profile implants may be chosen by women who seek maximum projection and cleavage. These implants have a smaller base so they project more.

Rhinoplasty or nose reshaping surgery ranks among the top five most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in the US today. Even a subtle change to the nose can make a magnified impact on the overall appearance of the face. Therefore, the procedure should only be performed by a surgeon who understands the nuances of rhinoplasty.

Dr. Bryson Richards is a pre-eminent plastic surgeon providing rhinoplasty and various other procedures of the breast, body and face. Dr. Richards will employ cutting edge surgical techniques to achieve safe, healthy and aesthetically appealing results with rhinoplasty. He receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and surrounding communities.

Combining Art and Science

Dr. Richards believes that every plastic surgery procedure must incorporate the principles of both art and science in order to achieve consummate results.

Maintaining Balance

Rhinoplasty procedure cannot be performed in isolation. An experienced cosmetic surgeon will prepare a nose reshaping surgical plan in context of other facial structures. For instance, if the nose appearance becomes more prominent, it should not undermine the existing appearance of the chin, and vice versa.

Plastic Surgeons vs. Cosmetic Surgeons

Plastic and cosmetic surgery procedures have transformed the lives of millions of women and men in the US. The patient not only stands to gain in terms of an attractive aesthetic appearance, but also receives a boost to their self-esteem and overall personality. However, success in these procedures can depend on various factors, and in particular the expertise of the surgeon will perform the procedure.

Dr. Bryson Richards is a highly trained and experienced plastic surgeon providing a wide range of surgical and non-surgical procedures for the breast, body, and face. Discerning patients in and around Las Vegas, NV who are looking for a reliable and reputed plastic surgeon for their needs have an opportunity to receive cutting edge procedures at the state of the art practice of Dr. Richards.

Organized Plastic Surgery

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) along with the respective established plastic surgery societies in each state are dedicated towards the cause of improving patient safety. These societies try to ensure that the surgeons maintain the best quality standards and follow established surgical practices and norms in order to achieve optimal outcomes in every procedure.

Patients are guided and encouraged through these organizations to choose an appropriately qualified and trained cosmetic surgeon for their needs. Most satisfactory results in any cosmetic surgery procedure can be obtained when the surgeon employs advanced and proven surgical techniques and is equipped to provide the right treatment in a safe and professional environment. Experienced plastic surgeon Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby locations for various surgical and non-surgical procedures.

Legal Support for ASPS, ABPS

The ASPS, ABPS, and the Utah Plastic Surgery Society (UPSS) recently earned a crucial legal victory in the Court of Appeals in Denver, CO. A lawsuit filed against these societies had been previous dismissed by a local court, and now the Appeals Court has upheld the dismissal. The lawsuit had challenged the validity of the advertising and education campaign of these societies on patient safety.

The plaintiffs had argued that the patient safety promotion campaign was causing loss of business to non-plastic surgeons. However, the courts have dismissed the complaint, which serves as an important legal victory for the cause of patient safety and organized plastic surgery. The victory is also seen as a validation of the ‘Do Your Homework’ campaign of the ASPS to support patient education.

The main contention of the plaintiffs was that the campaign was deceptive because it differentiated between plastic and cosmetic surgeons. However, the appellate court upheld that the plaintiffs had failed to prove any deception or violation against the ASPS, ABPS, and others.

Vital Distinction

Brian Brzowski, the UPSS President, said that the court’s decision reaffirms the importance of generating public awareness about the vital distinctions between specifically trained plastic surgeons and other surgeons. The bottom line is that patients should increase their awareness and make the right selection of a plastic surgeon for their health and cosmetic needs.

Among all the cosmetic surgery procedures performed for the breast, body, and face in the US today, liposuction ranks at the very top as the most popular procedure. Innovations in surgical techniques have made the surgery less invasive and more precise, resulting in more efficient fat reduction and body contouring. Success rate in the procedure is very high, and recovery period has reduced considerably.

It is, however, important to choose a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon for liposuction so that safe and predictable outcomes can be achieved. Dr. Bryson Richards is a leading plastic surgeon providing liposuction and various other surgical and non-surgical procedures to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding communities.

Ideal Candidates

Women and men who are bothered by the presence of stubborn fat pockets in specific areas of the body such as the buttocks, thighs, abdomen, arms, calves, back, cheeks, and neck can make suitable candidates for liposuction plastic surgery. A fantastic candidate will have a stable body weight in the range of 25 pounds of the ideal body weight. Candidates should ideally be non-smokers or willing to give up smoking several weeks in advance.

Cost of Liposuction

The cost of liposuction surgery will differ between two practices and even between two patients at the same practice due to a variety of factors. The average cost of liposuction can be in the range of $4,500 to $12,000. Patients should assess their health insurance and financing options to make the payments more conveniently and affordably.

Types of Surgery

A number of innovative liposuction techniques are used today to achieve optimal results in a less invasive manner. As an experienced cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Richards will discuss various treatment approaches with his patients in Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas.

Traditional Liposuction

When the procedure involves a substantial volume of fat reduction, the surgeon may perform a traditional liposuction surgery. A thin cannula will be inserted through the incision in the targeted area to remove stubborn fats. As the surgeon manipulates the cannula to physically break down the fat cells, their suctioning will become easier.

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction is the most popular technique in use today because of its less invasive approach. The targeted fat tissue will be exposed to a considerably large volume of anesthetic and saline solution. This will cause the fat cells to swell, making it easier to isolate and remove them. This procedure will avoid the need for general anesthesia, and will lower the risk and recovery period involved.

Laser Liposuction

In some cases, the surgeon may choose to combine liposuction with laser technique to produce effective fat reduction in a less invasive manner. The laser energy will help to break down fat cells without physical manipulation, leading to more efficient results in a less invasive way.

Recovery and Risks

Most patients will be able to return to their regular activities or go to work in about a week or 10 days. The surgeon may provide a compression garment for the treated areas, which must be worn for a few weeks to support healing. Risk can be minimized when the patient chooses an astute surgeon and follows the surgeon’s instruction carefully from preparation to recovery. Following the doctor’s orders pays off handsomely in this regard.

Eyelid Lift Plastic Surgery

Blepharoplasty, commonly known as eyelid lift, is a cosmetic surgery procedure aimed at reducing the signs of aging around the eyelids. Droopy and tired looking eyelids may develop due to genetic factors, aging, disease, or other conditions. Eyelid lift can correct the appearance of lower or upper or both eyelids, and may also include ptosis correction in some cases.

Eyes are a highly sensitive organ of the body, and any aesthetic procedure related to the eyes should only be performed by an experienced plastic surgeon with a close understanding of the eye anatomy. Dr. Bryson Richards is a leading plastic surgeon providing eyelid lift and various other procedures to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding communities.

Candidates

Most of the women and men seeking eyelid surgery are above the age of 30 or 35, but some candidates may need it earlier if they have a genetic history of droopy eyelids. Individuals who are bothered by the under eye bags, dark circles and wrinkles around the lower and upper eyelids, or suffer from vision obstruction due to droopy upper lids, may benefit from eyelid lift plastic surgery.

Types of Surgery

Lower Eyelid Surgery

The presence of excess fat deposits just below the lower eyelids may be corrected with lower eyelid surgery. The cosmetic surgeon will place tiny incisions below the lower eyelids in the crease to remove excess fat tissue or redistribute it in the depleted areas to address the sunken appearance. Excess skin will be removed to restore smooth, firm skin just above the cheek.

Upper Eyelid Surgery

Upper blepharoplasty is commonly performed to reduce excess fat pockets and loose skin that are giving a droopy and inflated look to the upper lids. When excess skin from the upper lids is trimmed in this procedure, the patient’s vision obstruction will also be addressed. Tightening or repositioning of underlying muscles may also be performed.

Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

This is a relatively minor procedure designed to remove the under eye bags. It does not include removal of skin, but only reduction of fat deposits. The incisions in this surgery are placed inside the lower eyelid, which will not leave any visible scars on the outside. Dr. Richards receives patients from Las Vegas, NV and nearby locations for this procedure.

Financial Considerations

As per the data released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for 2014, the average cost of eyelid surgery in the US was $2,874. However, the cost did not include components such as anesthesia costs, surgical facility dollar costs, and other expenses that could impact your bank account. The overall monetary amount of the procedure may usually range from $4,500 to $8,500.

Recovery and Results

Results with eyelid lift will typically include an enhanced, youthful appearance of the eyes and, in some cases, vision correction due to removal of loose skin from upper eyelids. Within a week to 10 days, most patients can return to their normal routine or go back to work. Mild pain and irritation in the treated areas may be experienced in the first few days. Scars will fade slowly, and eventually become almost invisible.
