Nipple reconstruction surgery is available in Bristol with Elena Prousskaia, a world-leading cosmetic surgeon who has held the prestigious Fellowship in Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction and Breast Oncoplastic Surgery at London’s Guys and St Thomas Hospitals.
Relative to other cosmetic procedures, nipple reconstruction is a quick and simple operation and one that can be carried out under local anaesthetic at the Bristol Spire.
Often, this procedure is the final step in completing the desired end look of firmer, more youthful breasts.
Nipple reconstruction surgery is a procedure that many surgeons in Bristol are qualified to undertake, so why consider Elena?
Elena is not only one of the leading surgeons operating in the UK, she is one of a very small number of leading female surgeons.
While gender of the surgeon of course has no bearing on their skills, a female surgeon is uniquely aware of the impact of some forms of cosmetic surgery and how important the procedure can be to self esteem and sense of self.
This comes across in Elena’s ethos. She always undertakes lengthy consultations with prospective patients, this to fully talk through their hopes and concerns for surgery and to give a clear picture of what surgery can achieve, how it would proceed and also the after care.
In the case of nipple reconstruction, small, secondary adjustments to the reconstructed breast might also be undertaken or at least discussed. These might include contralateral reduction, uplift, or lipofilling to the flap to help ensure matching shape and volume. Elena’s expertise, specialism in breast reconstruction and ethos would ensure this was fully discussed in consultation.
It is of course easy to speak of having a superb reputation, but reviews have to back it up. In Elena’s case, the reviews are universally positive, and please do take the time to read what previous patients have said.
Reviews on I Want Great Care site
The fact that all patients speak of positive outcomes is also testimony to Elena’s experience.
She is a cosmetic surgeon with a nearly 20 years’ experience, this having trained for eight years in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
She has held Fellowships around the world, including Milan, Spain, India and the stunning University Hospital Tokyo. Elena holds many international awards and certifications and has been published in leading medical journals. This is not mentioned to be boastful, merely to point out that she is the highest echelon of cosmetic surgeons.

Similar to all surgeries, nipple surgery is accompanied by certain risks, including the following:
Elena will provide you with further information with the risks and provide you with a detailed consent form during your consultations. This will help you to minimise the risks.
Nipple reconstruction is often done under local anesthetic. This means that Elena would normally use a needle to inject numbing medication into the area where the reconstructed nipple will be. If you have local anesthetic, you will be awake during the procedure.
A variety of different techniques exist for reconstruction of the nipple and its surrounding areolar tissue. These include the use of skin grafts taken from other regions of the body, local flaps of breast skin that are shaped into a nipple, or the sharing of tissue from the opposite nipple-areolar region. Additional techniques such as tattooing may be used to add color to the tissue if needed. Nipple reconstruction may be performed as a single surgical procedure, or combined with other breast reconstruction procedures.
You should avoid all sport activities, housework such as hovering, driving, dog walking for at least 1-2 weeks following surgery and any weight lifting or strenuous activities for up to 4 weeks following the surgery. The visibility of your scars will depend on the technique used and on the biological response of your body to surgery and healing. Generally the scars after this type of surgery are almost invisible by the end of the year. After you have seen Ms Prousskaia for your four weeks follow up you can discuss beginning a gym routine focused on lower body strength.

The Elena Prousskaia Clinic prides itself on the quality of its aftercare so we’ll make absolutely sure you know what to expect, and how much rest is needed. We’ll give you specific instructions that may include how to care for your breasts following surgery, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection, and when to follow-up with Elena.
Generally speaking this surgery takes around 30 minutes, although this varies depending on the nature of the procedure.
After surgery it is normal to experience some discomfort, the level of which varies widely amongst patients. There is rarely prolonged pain unless there is a complication and in all cases you will be prescribed pain medication.
This procedure can be performed on its own or with other breast procedures. Elena will discuss all possible procedures and results with you during your consultation.
Elena prides herself on taking the time to truly understand a patient’s aims and discussing what result will work best given the patient’s body shape and size. Although good results are expected, the body is not symmetric and almost everyone has some degree of unevenness, which may not be recognized in advance. The more realistic your expectations as to results, the better your results will be in your eye. You will have at least two consultations with Elena where she ensures that she meets your expectations and she will always try to achieve your desired results.
Elena does not operate on patients that regularly smoke or vape. To be considered for this procedure you must refrain from smoking or vaping for 3 months before and after your surgery.
