Nipple Correction

Inverted Nipple Correction

Inverted nipples (nipple inversion) are usually caused by shortened milk ducts or connective tissue structures that pull the nipple inward. Depending on the severity, the nipple may remain permanently inverted or may temporarily protrude.

Surgical correction of inverted nipples can permanently restore the nipple to a protruding position. In more pronounced cases, it may be necessary to divide shortened milk ducts. This can affect the ability to breastfeed, which is why any plans for future pregnancy and breastfeeding are taken into consideration when planning the procedure.

Nipple Reduction

If the nipples are naturally enlarged or have increased in size following pregnancy and breastfeeding, nipple reduction can help create a more harmonious appearance. The size and shape of the nipple are individually adjusted to suit the proportions of the breast.

Nipple Shortening

For elongated or strongly protruding nipples, nipple shortening can be performed. The aim is to achieve a natural shape with minimal visible scarring and harmonious, long-lasting proportions.

Correction of Asymmetrical Nipples

Nipples that differ in size or shape can be balanced through nipple correction. The procedure can also often be combined with breast augmentation, breast reduction or a breast lift.

Mild swelling, bruising or a feeling of tightness is normal after nipple surgery and usually subsides within a few days to several weeks.

During the first few weeks, pressure on the breasts and strenuous physical activity should be avoided. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor the healing process and support optimal, discreet scar healing.
