Nipple Correction in Charlotte, NC

Nipple correction surgery refines the size, shape, and position of the nipples—whether enlarged, asymmetrical, or inverted—to create a more balanced, natural appearance. This tailored procedure restores symmetry and confidence with subtle, lasting results.

Nipple Reduction

Over time, many women experience a change in the size and shape of their nipples and areolas. This can be due to pregnancy, weight gain, or weight loss. Also, some women are just born with large or irregularly shaped nipples or areolas, much as some women are born with large breasts. For those experiencing dissatisfaction with the size and shape of their nipples, this can be addressed with nipple reduction.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Nipple Reduction?

Nipple reduction may be recommended for patients who are unhappy with the size or shape of their nipples. This procedure may benefit patients who have nipples that are:

Long, droopy, or overly prominent
Too wide
Asymmetrical in shape
Not in proportion or balance with the breasts
Changed due to pregnancy or breastfeeding
Limiting clothing selection or activities
Cause embarrassment

Nipple Reduction Procedure

This procedure can be performed alone or in combination with areola revision. It can restore or create a more natural balance in size and shape between the nipple areola complex and the breast.

How the Procedure Is Performed?

Your surgeon will make a small incision on the nipple through which excess tissue is removed.
Because nipples vary in size and shape, the surgery is custom-tailored to meet your specific needs.
After the excess tissue is removed, fine sutures are used to close the incision.
Once the area has been bandaged, a surgical bra may be placed over your breasts to hold them in the best position for healing.

Nipple Inversion Correction

Nipple inversion correction is designed for patients whose nipples turn inward instead of projecting outward. Inverted nipples can be present from birth or develop over time due to breastfeeding, genetics, or scar tissue.

This minor surgical procedure releases the underlying tethered ducts or tight connective tissue that pull the nipple inward. By gently freeing these structures while preserving as much functionality as possible, the nipple can project normally and maintain a balanced appearance.

Nipple inversion correction is typically performed under local anesthesia and paired with other nipple or breast procedures when desired. Results are immediate, with most patients experiencing improved symmetry, enhanced comfort, and renewed confidence in how their breasts look and feel.
