Nipple Reduction
Whether you are seeking nipple correction, reduction, or reconstruction, nipple surgery offers a solution to address your concerns and enhance your self-confidence. In this article, we will discuss different types of nipple surgery, how they work, who can benefit from them, and the transformative results they can achieve.
Nipple Surgery
Features & Benefits
Correction of Nipple Size and Projection
Some individuals may be unhappy with the size, shape, or projection of their nipples. Nipple surgery can involve reducing or increasing nipple size, altering the nipple shape, or adjusting the nipple projection to achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Correction of Inverted Nipples
Inverted nipples, which retract inward instead of protruding outward, can cause self-consciousness and affect nipple function. Nipple surgery can help correct inverted nipples by releasing the tissue causing the inversion, allowing the nipples to project outward more naturally.
Aesthetic Enhancement after Breast Surgery
Nipple surgery is often performed in conjunction with breast augmentation, reduction, or reconstruction procedures. For example, after breast reconstruction, the nipple can be created using surgical techniques to mimic the appearance of a natural nipple, enhancing the overall aesthetic outcome.
Improved Nipple Symmetry
Nipple asymmetry, where one nipple is positioned differently from the other, can be a source of concern for some individuals. Nipple surgery can help achieve better symmetry by adjusting the position, size, or shape of one or both nipples, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
