Nipple correction
A beautifully shaped and well-proportioned nipple and areola are key features of the female breast.
Indication
Retracted (inverted) nipples, disproportionate nipples and enlarged areolae can be perceived as disturbing.
Treatment
Nipple correction
Plastic surgeons can harmonise the breasts by correcting inverted nipples or reducing the size of the nipples. In most cases, inverted nipple correction is permanently successful. In rare cases, the nipple may retract again and a follow-up operation may be necessary.
Areola correction
In a reduction correction of the areola, an incision is made around the areola to tighten it. Scarring is very individual and effective scar therapy is essential for the final result.
Result
A nipple correction can restore the harmony of the breast.
Ability to breastfeed
After an inverted nipple correction, breastfeeding is often no longer possible as the milk ducts have to be cut during the operation. The ability to breastfeed can also be lost if the nipple is reduced in size.
