Nipple correction

The shape, position and size of the nipple, as optical centre of the female breast, play an important role both aesthetically and intimately.  Some women suffer with over-sized nipples, others with inverted nipples that point inward – even when aroused. In other cases still, especially after pregnancy, many women find the areola too big. The nipple can be corrected separately or as part of a breast operation – such as with an augmentation, reduction or lift. 

Nipples that are too large can be made smaller by way of a ring-shaped skin removal. With inverted nipples, a discrete 3mm long incision is made into the tissue underneath and, through a special stitching technique, is naturally raised again from within, for a long term effect. Areolas that are considered too big can also be reduced with a ring or sickle-shaped incision. In doing so, the position of the nipple can also be improved.
