Nipple correction
Surgery to correct inverted nipple, excessive nipple size or asymmetries
MADRID | ZURICH
The nipple correction is a plastic surgery procedure that treats different alterations in the shape or position of the nipple. These changes may be congenital, appear after hormonal changes, pregnancy or breastfeeding, or develop over time.
Among the most frequent situations are the inverted nipple, excessive nipple size, or small asymmetries affecting the proportion between the areola and the nipple.
Although in many cases it is a cosmetic concern, some nipple alterations can also cause discomfort or difficulties in certain situations, such as breastfeeding or wearing certain garments.
Nipple correction surgery improves the shape, projection or size of the nipple by means of simple and minimally invasive surgical techniques, always seeking a natural and proportionate result with the rest of the breast.

Indications and patient profile
What problems nipple surgery can correct
Nipple correction surgery can be performed to treat different anatomical alterations of the nipple. Among the most frequent situations are:
- Inverted nipple, when the nipple retracts inwards into the breast
- Excessively large or prominent nipples
- Asymmetry between both nipples
- Changes in nipple shape after breastfeeding or hormonal changes
- Nipple irregularities after previous breast surgeries
In many cases these are small anatomical alterations that can be corrected by a simple procedure under local anaesthesia. The procedure can be performed in both women as well as men, It can sometimes be combined with other breast surgeries such as breast augmentation, breast reduction or mastopexy.
Surgical techniques for nipple reconstruction of the nipple
The technique used depends on the type of nipple alteration.
Inverted nipple correction
When the nipple is retracted towards the inside of the breast, the procedure consists of performing a small incision at the base of the nipple to release the tissues causing the retraction. Once the ducts or structures responsible for the inversion have been released, the nipple is repositioned and fixed in its new position using fine sutures.
In some cases it can be used fat grafting (lipofilling) to strengthen the tissues and reduce the risk of nipple retraction.
Nipple size reduction
When the nipple is too large or protruding too prominently, a nipple excision may be performed. nipple reduction. This procedure makes it possible to reduce its length or volume, while maintaining the natural proportion with the areola and the rest of the breast.
The procedure is performed through small incisions carefully planned to preserve the sensitivity and natural shape of the nipple.
Correction of nipple asymmetry
In some cases, the nipples may show differences in size or projection between one side and the other. Surgery makes it possible to adjust these differences by means of remodelling techniques that aim to improve the symmetry between the two nipples and the overall harmony of the breast.
