Nipples that are inverted, too long or too large can cause considerable discomfort. A well-formed nipple is part of an aesthetically pleasing breast. Inverted nipples can be surgically corrected. Nipples that are too large or too long can be adjusted in size and shape.
-
Suitability
The procedure is suitable for patients who are not satisfied with the current shape of their nipples (retracted nipples, nipples that are too long or too large).
-
Consultation
During an initial consultation at the Clinic for Aesthetic Surgery, we will discuss the various surgical methods in detail.
If you decide in favour of surgery, a further consultation will follow to discuss any questions you may have and to plan the procedure.
-
Intervention
A local anaesthetic is sufficient for this generally minor operation.
-
Aftercare
The operation is performed on an outpatient basis so that the patient can leave the clinic on the day of the operation.
After a nipple correction, care should initially be taken to ensure good padding in the bra.
