You may be dissatisfied with your nipples. You may find them too long or too protruding, You may have an oversized areola or a retracted nipple. These issues can be corrected with a nipple or areola reduction. Our surgeon can also correct retracted nipples. These nipple corrections are often performed in combination with a breast reduction or lift. The nipple correction on its own is a fairly minor procedure requiring only local anesthesia.
What happens during a nipple correction
Nipple reduction
A nipple reduction is actually a nipple shortening, whereby a piece of the protruding nipple is removed. It is then stitched up and covered with gauze. Do give nipple reduction serious thought if you are intending to breastfeed in the future as it could damage the milk ducts.
Areola reduction
Each nipple consists in fact of two parts. The protruding part is the nipple itself and the pigmented area around it is the areola. In a areola reduction, the diameter of the areola is reduced by loosening the skin around the nipple. Part of the skin is then cut away and everything is neatly sutured back into place.
The result
The scars resulting from a nipple correction never fade away completely. In general, the wounds recover quickly and the end result is also quickly visible.
Recovery after a nipple correction
A nipple correction takes about 30-60 minutes. You can usually be taken home the same day. The nipple and breast will be swollen in the first 3 days after surgery and there is usually some bruising. The surgeon mainly uses soluble sutures.
Safety through precautionary measures
The nipple correction is a relatively ‘minor procedure’ and although the risks and complications are generally small, the area of the nipple is a sensitive and important one.
The following complications are possible:
- Allergic reaction
- Infection
- Blood Loss
- Scarring of skin edges
- Wrinkle around the scar
- Nipple numbness
- Reduced capacity/inability to breastfeed
- Formation of thick scars
Nipple correction is subject to the same safety and precautionary measures as breast augmentation.
