Nipple Correction at KT-Beauty in Zurich

Correction of inverted nipples and areolas that are too small or too large

Reasons for Nipple Correction

Nipple correction surgery is necessary if you feel so uncomfortable with the shape or size of your nipples that your quality of life is affected. Some women find their inverted nipples unattractive, while others have self-esteem issues due to nipples that are too large on relatively small breasts or nipples that are different sizes or asymmetrical in shape. After breastfeeding, the appearance of the nipples can also change significantly, which can negatively affect the overall appearance of the breasts. In all these cases, nipple correction—a minor and straightforward procedure—can help.

Correction of Inverted Nipples / Hollow Nipples

Inverted nipples are nipples that are pulled inward. During surgical correction of inverted nipples, the milk ducts and surrounding connective tissue are severed so that the nipple can be pulled outward. As a rule, no visible scar remains, and the new nipple looks very natural and aesthetically pleasing.

Is it possible to have your nipples reduced?

What can be done about nipples that are too large? Nipples that are too large, thick, or long can be made to appear smaller by removing excess tissue and reshaping the nipple to be smaller. The areolas can also be reduced in size if necessary by making a circular incision and narrowing the areola.

What can be done about nipples that are too small?

Very small nipples can also be enlarged through surgery. However, an areola that is too small can also be made to appear larger through pigmentation (a type of tattoo or permanent makeup). This procedure is used particularly often in cases of breast cancer and mastectomy.

Nipple Correction and Breastfeeding

Whether a woman can still breastfeed after nipple correction depends on the method used. Breastfeeding ability may be impaired, particularly after surgery for inverted nipples. Please be sure to discuss your family planning with our surgeon, Karen Towmasjan, before making a decision!

Male Nipple Correction

Men can also undergo nipple correction at our aesthetic medicine practice in Berlin. Nipple correction for men is usually performed in combination with gynecomastia surgery (male breast reduction).
