Nipple and areola surgery is a set of cosmetic and reconstructive procedures designed to enhance the appearance, symmetry, or functionality of the nipples and areolas. These procedures are often sought for aesthetic improvements, correction of congenital conditions, or reconstruction after breast surgery.
Nipple Reduction: Reduces the size of overly large or protruding nipples.
Areola Reduction: Decreases the diameter of the areola for better proportion with the breast.
Inverted Nipple Correction: Corrects nipples that are retracted inward due to genetic factors or breastfeeding.
Nipple Reconstruction: Often performed after mastectomy to restore the nipple’s natural appearance.
Asymmetry Correction: Balances the shape and position of both nipples for a more uniform look.
Duration: 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity.
Anesthesia: Local anesthesia for minor corrections; general anesthesia for more extensive procedures.
Recovery: Most patients return to normal activities within a few days, with full healing in 2 to 4 weeks.
Scarring: Minimal and usually fades over time.
