Consultation and Planning for Areola Lift Procedure

During your initial consultation, you’ll meet with Dr. Hussein Tuffaha, who will assess your breast shape and areola position. This is your opportunity to discuss your goals, ask questions and decide if you’d like to combine the procedure with another breast surgery.

To prepare for an areola lift in Ipswich, we will:

Review your medical history with the surgeon.
Help you understand the risks and benefits.
Advise you to maintain a healthy weight for the best results.

Surgical Process & Recovery and Aftercare

The surgery itself is carried out under local or general anaesthetic. We will discuss the best option with you at your in-depth consultation. The procedure involves making incisions around the outer area of the areola. The incisions are then stitched together, reducing the areola’s size. General surgery time is 2-3 hours and you will be discharged later the same day.

If you’re having a nipple lift alongside another breast surgery, the breast surgery will be performed first. This is because breast surgery may affect the positioning of the nipple and areola. It’s important to address the breast tissue and shape first before making adjustments to the nipple.

After undergoing an areola lift in Ipswich, you can expect:

Mild swelling and bruising for around 1–2 weeks.
Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for 4–6 weeks.
Full results from your areola lift will become visible once the swelling goes down, which typically occurs in 3–6 months.

Our team at Suffolk Breast Practice is here to support you throughout your recovery process. You will receive emotional and physical support before and after your areola lift. We offer two follow-up appointments at our clinic. One after the first week and another two weeks after surgery. If needed, you can see your surgeon for up to a year post-surgery at no extra cost.

FAQs

How long does it take for a nipple lift to heal?

Everyone’s recovery is different. But, on average you’ll be able to do light activities after two weeks and normal activities after six weeks.

Following a nipple lift, you should have at least two weeks off work and avoid sexual activity at this time too.
What is an areola lift?

An areola lift is a short procedure where an incision is made to remove the outer area of the areola, the space around the nipple. After stitching the incisions, the areola’s size becomes smaller and is lifted.
What is the recovery time for an areola lift?

We advise you to wait two weeks before driving and continuing sexual activity. On average, you can do light activities after two weeks and normal activities after six weeks, but you may require help during this time.
Can I breastfeed after an areola lift?

Yes. An areola lift simply lifts the nipple and changes its size, but does not alter or damage the hormone or space that produces or releases breast milk.
Are there risks associated with an areola lift?

Yes. Like any cosmetic surgery, complications can occur during and even after the procedure. For example, bleeding, infection, an adverse reaction to the anaesthesia, or allergic reaction. Please rest assured our surgeon considers all these risks before the procedure to keep you in safe hands.
