Nipple Surgery

What is Nipple Surgery?

Nipple surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to correct nipple abnormalities, improve nipple appearance, or restore nipple sensation. These procedures can address concerns such as inverted nipples, enlarged nipples, asymmetrical nipples, or nipple reconstruction after breast surgery.

How Does Nipple Surgery Work?

The specific techniques used in nipple surgery depend on the individual's concerns and goals. Some common procedures include:

• Inverted Nipple Correction: The tissues surrounding the nipple are released to allow the nipple to project outward.
• Nipple Reduction: Excess nipple tissue is removed to reduce the size and improve the shape of the nipple.
• Nipple Reconstruction: The nipple is reconstructed using tissue from another part of the body or through tattooing techniques.
• Nipple Piercing Repair: Damaged or stretched nipple piercings are repaired to restore a natural appearance.

The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation and takes 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Candidates for nipple surgery typically include:

• Individuals with inverted nipples
