About Nipple & Areola Correction
Nipple and areola correction procedures address various aesthetic concerns including inverted nipples, enlarged areolas, and asymmetry. These relatively simple procedures can significantly improve breast appearance and self-confidence.
Nipple and areola correction addresses various concerns including inverted nipples, enlarged or asymmetric areolae, and prominent nipples. At Aestique Clinic, our surgeons perform these delicate procedures with precision, achieving natural-looking results while preserving nipple sensation whenever possible.
These are common conditions that affect both men and women. Inverted nipples in particular can cause self-consciousness and may interfere with breastfeeding. Surgical correction is straightforward and provides permanent results.
Correction Options
- Inverted Nipple Correction: Release of tethered tissue to allow normal nipple projection.
- Areola Reduction: Reducing oversized areolas for better proportion.
- Nipple Reduction: Decreasing nipple size or length for improved aesthetics.
- Nipple Reconstruction: Creating a natural-looking nipple after mastectomy reconstruction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will nipple correction affect breastfeeding?
This depends on the technique used and the severity of the inversion. Some techniques preserve milk ducts better than others. If breastfeeding is a priority, discuss this with your surgeon.
Can inverted nipples come back after surgery?
Recurrence is uncommon but possible, particularly with severe inversions. Modern techniques have significantly reduced recurrence rates.
Is nipple correction performed under general anesthesia?
No, nipple correction is typically performed under local anesthesia as an in-office procedure, making it quick, comfortable, and requiring no general anesthesia risks.
