Nipple correction
From €1,250
With a nipple correction we correct overly large or inverted nipples
Are you unhappy with your nipples? You're not alone. An overly large areola or inverted nipples can be very unpleasant. Usually, this problem can be resolved with a relatively minor surgical procedure: a nipple correction.
Each nipple consists of two parts: the nipple and the areola. The nipple is the protruding part and the areola is the round part around the nipple. A nipple correction can be performed in different ways. During the first consultation, the plastic surgeon determines with you which part of the nipple needs to be corrected.

Types of nipple corrections
We distinguish between different types of nipple corrections. We'll briefly explain what these corrections entail. The plastic surgeon can tell you more during a free consultation.
Inverted nipples
There are different forms of inverted nipples. A nipple can be malformed at birth and pull in from puberty. Sometimes the milk ducts to the nipple have to be loosened to correct this. You will then no longer be able to breastfeed. But a normally shaped nipple can also pull inwards. The nipple can be brought out and permanently supported by a temporary loop or piercing. You can continue to breastfeed after this procedure because the milk ducts remain intact during this procedure.
Nipples too long
Protruding or overly long nipples can be a result of genetic predisposition or breastfeeding. The nipple can be modified by cutting away part of it. This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia.
Areola reduction
An areola that is too large can be reduced in various ways. The mammary gland and milk ducts usually remain intact. This means that you can also breastfeed after the procedure. Correction of an enlarged areola is performed by removing some of the pigmented skin around the nipple or around the areola. An areola reduction is often performed in combination with a breast lift or a breast reduction.

1. Consult
The first step is a free consultation. There are several ways to perform a nipple correction, and during the consultation, the plastic surgeon will determine which method is best for you based on an examination. Photos will be taken for your medical records, and you will receive all the information about the procedure, from preparation to aftercare. Finally, the risks and potential complications will be discussed with you. There will be time for all your questions, wishes, and concerns.
2. Operation
Nipple correction is generally performed under local anesthesia. The procedure takes an average of half an hour. Only extensive nipple corrections are performed under general anesthesia. During the surgery, the plastic surgeon makes small incisions to correct the nipple. These incisions are carefully sutured afterward. Dissolvable or non-dissolvable sutures are used. Sutures that do not dissolve on their own are removed by the plastic surgeon after a week.
3. Aftercare
After a nipple correction, you may experience some soreness; take paracetamol for this. There will be some swelling for the first few days after the surgery, which will subside on its own. Avoid heat and physical exertion to speed up recovery. You can resume non-strenuous daily activities 24 to 48 hours after the surgery. Initially, the scars will be fiery; they typically take 3 months to 1 year to fully heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nipple correction is usually performed under local anesthesia. Only extensive nipple corrections are performed under general anesthesia. During your consultation with the plastic surgeon, you will be told which treatment you will receive and what type of anesthesia you can expect.
The scars you'll have depend on the type of nipple correction performed. In most cases, you'll have visible scars, but these will gradually take on the color of your skin over the first year.
Nipple correction is a cosmetic procedure and therefore carries the same risks as any other surgery. However, the chance of complications is virtually zero. During your consultation, your doctor will discuss the risks of the procedure so you can make a well-informed decision. Complications that may occur after nipple correction include:
- You would like to look younger
- Bleeding
- Poor wound healing
- Feeling changes
- Asymmetry
- Visible (thickened) scars
- Sometimes women can still breastfeed, while for others it is no longer possible
If any unexpected complications arise after surgery, please always contact us immediately. Because we are a subsidiary of OLVG, we are available 24/7 in case of complications.
