Incision as we find it possible to free the milk ducts via a small incision hidden at the base of the nipple within the areola and that this avoids a scar around the outside of your areola (the dark area around your nipple) which can be visible. This technique is effective but it should be realised that because of the duct division, breast-feeding will not be possible after correction.
Generally, this surgery is performed as a local anaesthetic day case procedure. Post-operative instructions call for rest and limited movement in order to help with the healing process. Dressings are applied immediately at the time of surgery which will usually stay in place for seven to ten days.
