A nipple reduction is performed to bring overly large nipples into proportion with the breast. This can have both aesthetic and physical benefits, such as reducing irritation from friction against clothing.
During the procedure, the plastic surgeon removes a small portion of the nipple to adjust the size. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and takes about 30 to 60 minutes.
Nipple areola reduction involves reducing the diameter of the areola (the dark area around the nipple). This is often done for aesthetic reasons or to restore symmetry.
The plastic surgeon makes an incision around the areola and removes excess tissue. After the procedure, the edges of the skin are carefully sutured for a natural result. The procedure takes about 60 minutes and is performed under local anesthesia.
Some people suffer from retracted nipples, where the nipple pulls inward instead of outward. This can be an aesthetic problem as well as cause functional problems, such as when breastfeeding.
During a nipple correction, the plastic surgeon can restore the retracted nipple by loosening the connective tissue bands under the nipple. This restores the natural shape of the nipple. The procedure takes about 30 minutes per nipple and is performed under local anesthesia.

Nipple correction is not performed if there are health risks that increase the risk of complications. This may be the case, for example, with certain medications or poor general health. Always discuss your medical history and medication use with the plastic surgeon.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks, although they are rare. Possible complications include:

Only an initial consultation that does not lead to treatment.
Nipple correction is necessary if you suffer from oversized, retracted, asymmetrical or deformed nipples that can cause both aesthetic and functional problems. Among other things, this can cause discomfort when wearing tight clothing or negatively affect your self-confidence.
With retracted nipples, correction can also be helpful for women who want to breastfeed, as retracted nipples sometimes make this difficult. In addition, nipple correction can help if you suffer from irritation or pain due to the shape or size of the nipples. In short, the procedure can be both cosmetic and functional in nature, depending on your personal situation and wishes.
The duration of the procedure depends on the type of nipple correction needed. For a nipple reduction or correction of retracted nipples, the procedure usually takes 30 to 60 minutes per nipple. In cases where both the nipple and areola need to be adjusted, the procedure may take slightly longer, but remains a relatively short procedure.
The correction is performed under local anesthesia, which means you will be awake during the procedure but will not feel any pain. After the procedure, you can go home almost immediately and the recovery process begins.
In most cases, nipple correction is not reimbursed because it is often considered a cosmetic procedure. This means the procedure must be paid for out of pocket.
However, there are exceptions. If the correction has medical necessity, such as retracted nipples that make breastfeeding difficult or certain congenital defects, there may be a chance that some of the cost may be covered by health insurance.
We recommend that you contact your health insurance company in advance to check whether the procedure is eligible for reimbursement and to discuss the terms of any reimbursement.
