What is Nipple Correction?

A nipple or areola correction surgery is a procedure that addresses concerns related to the size, shape, or symmetry of the nipples. This may be performed alone or at the same time as another procedure, like a breast augmentationbreast reductionbreast lift, or gynecomastia surgery.

A nipple correction enhances or reduces the size and shape of the nipples or areola or corrects inverted nipples with long-lasting results. There are also non-surgical treatments like injectable fillers that can increase the projection of your nipples.

During your virtual or in-person consultation at our Newport Beach office, one of our board-certified surgeons will review your medical history, drug allergies, medical conditions, current medications, past surgeries, and lifestyle habits. They will also examine your areas of concern, listen to your cosmetic goals, and show you before and after pictures of past nipple correction procedures. 

At Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, we’ve seen firsthand the effects that nipple insecurities can have on a person’s self-esteem. Because of this, we are determined to make the procedure you desire as affordable and accessible as possible. If you are interested, our experienced team can explain your financing options to help you cover the costs of your procedure.

Your nipple/areola surgery will involve specific techniques that are best suited to address your unique concerns. Our board-certified plastic surgeons will typically perform nipple correction using local anesthesia to numb the treatment area. 

To address the size or shape of the areolas, an incision will be made around the border of the areola. A donut-shaped piece of tissue will be removed, and a new border of the areola will be created. Scarring is well concealed within the pigment of the areola. For inverted nipple treatment, an incision will be made around the base of the nipple, and the nipple and areola will be lifted into a protruding shape. Generally, this procedure takes less than one hour to complete when performed on its own.

Unless you had your procedure combined with a larger procedure like breast augmentation or gynecomastia surgery, there is usually little recovery time needed after nipple/areola surgery. However, you may experience some swelling, redness, or mild discomfort for a few days. The area will be bandaged to protect your incision sites. You may resume most regular activities right away, but you may want to hold off on more strenuous activities until cleared by your surgeon to avoid excess swelling.

After the swelling subsides, you can enjoy the final results of your nipple/areola surgery. Nipple correction patients at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery often report feeling more confident with their new nipple size, shape, and symmetry. The results of nipple/areola surgery are permanent. 

Healthy men and women who are bothered by the appearance of their nipples or areolas may benefit from a nipple correction procedure. For women, a nipple/areola correction can optimize the appearance of their breasts, especially after another procedure like breast augmentation, breast reduction, or breast lift. For men, nipple/areola correction can enhance the results of their gynecomastia surgery or male breast reduction.  

You may be a good candidate for nipple/areola correction if you have one of the following concerns: 

  • Inverted nipples
  • Changes to the nipples/areolas with age
  • Overly large nipples/areolas
  • Asymmetrical nipples/areolas
  • Nipples that point downward 

Good candidates for nipple correction have a stable weight and are not pregnant or breastfeeding. You should be in overall good health and have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcome.

To determine if nipple correction is right for you, please request a consultation at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery, where one of our experienced surgeons can help you choose the right treatment for your concerns and goals.

The cost of a nipple correction procedure varies based on several factors, including your geographic location, your provider’s experience, facility fees, and the cost of anesthesia. Inverted nipple correction and nipple reduction procedures cost $1,200 to $1,800 at Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery.

However, this is only an average price range, and your exact cost will be based on your unique procedure and its complexity. If you have nipple correction combined with another procedure, such as breast augmentation or gynecomastia surgery, the overall cost will be higher. We encourage you to schedule a consultation with one of our surgeons for a personalized estimate.
