Nipple reduction: Reducing the size of large nipples.
Inverted Nipple correction: Correcting protrusion or flat nipples.
Areola reduction or reshaping: Adjusting the size, shape, or symmetry of the areola.
Nipple reconstruction: Often part of breast reconstruction after mastectomy or breast reconstruction.
Patients choose this surgery for various reasons:
Aesthetic concerns: Disproportionate nipples or areolas affecting breast appearance.
Congenital conditions: Naturally inverted, enlarged, or misshapen nipples.
Post-pregnancy or breastfeeding changes: Enlarged or stretched nipples/areolas.
Reconstruction needs: Following breast surgery, mastectomy, or trauma.
Nipple and areolar surgery is usually performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity. The surgeon will:
Assess nipple and areola anatomy.
Plan precise incisions for symmetry and minimal scarring.
Reshape, reduce, or reposition tissue as needed.
Close the incisions carefully to ensure the best scar results.
Mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity are common for the first few days.
Most patients return to normal activities within few days.
Full healing and final results are typically visible within 6–8 weeks.
Nipple sensation is usually preserved, though temporary changes can occur.
