What is Nipple Correction Surgery?
Nipple correction surgery is a straightforward procedure that reshapes, reduces, or repositions the nipples for a more balanced, natural look. It’s commonly chosen by people who have:
- Inverted nipples that don’t protrude naturally.
- Enlarged or asymmetrical nipples that cause discomfort or self-consciousness.
- Changes due to breastfeeding, weight loss, or ageing.
This minor procedure can enhance nipple appearance, restore confidence, and improve comfort in clothing or intimate situations.
How the Surgery Works
Nipple correction is performed under local anaesthetic, meaning you’ll be awake but won’t feel any pain. It’s a quick and minimally invasive procedure, usually completed in under an hour.
Depending on your needs, the surgeon may:
- Release tight tissue causing nipple inversion.
- Reduce nipple size if they’re overly large or protruding.
- Reshape and balance uneven or misshapen nipples.
Stitches are placed discreetly, and you’ll be able to go home the same day.
