Nipple corrective procedure

Many women and men desire a change to their nipples. At our practice in Braunschweig, we take the time to understand your concerns and work with you to find the right solution. The nipple corrective procedure is a precise, gentle procedure that will help you feel completely comfortable again.

How can nipples be changed?

During nipple corrective procedure our German board-certified specialists in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery adjust the shape, size, or Gluteal Area of your nipples. Common concerns include inverted or retracted nipples, excessively large or asymmetrical nipples, and changes in shape after pregnancy or breastfeeding. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis and is individually tailored to your anatomy and desired outcome by our medical experts. The goal is always a natural, harmonious result that suits your body and boosts your self-confidence.

For whom is a nipple corrective procedure suitable?

The procedure is an option for you if:

  • Your nipples are inverted (inverted nipples) and you find this distressing.
  • They suffer from asymmetrical nipples that disrupt the overall appearance.
  • You may desire a Corrective Procedure for aesthetic reasons, such as excessively large nipples.
  • Your nipples may have changed shape after pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Functional limitations exist, for example in breastfeeding or in everyday life.

The procedure is suitable for both women and men. In a personal Consultation , you will discuss with Dr. G. Felix Brölsch, German board-certified specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery , and his colleagues which method is best for you.

How is a nipple corrective procedure performed?

Nipple corrective procedure are usually performed on an outpatient basis, under local anesthesia or, if desired, under Twilight Sedation . Depending on the initial situation, different techniques are used:

  • In the case of inverted nipples, the tissue is gently loosened so that the nipple permanently points outwards.
  • In cases of excessively large nipples, excess tissue is precisely removed and the shape is reshaped.
  • In cases of asymmetry, we harmoniously adjust the shape of both sides.

Thanks to modern techniques, the scars are barely visible later on.

What results can you expect?

The goal of every nipple corrective procedure is a natural, aesthetically pleasing result that meets your expectations. Our patients report a significant increase in well-being and self-confidence after the surgery.

Frequently asked questions about the nipple corrective procedure

Is a nipple corrective procedure painful?

The procedure itself is painless thanks to anesthesia. In the first few days afterward, a slight feeling of tightness or pressure may occur, but this can be easily controlled with painkillers. Most patients find the discomfort to be very minor.

Will visible scars remain?

In our specialist practice for plastic and aesthetic surgery in Braunschweig, we use minimally invasive techniques and place the incisions in such a way that scars are barely visible later – usually at the transition between the nipple and areola. Over time, the scars fade significantly and often become almost invisible.

Can I still breastfeed after a nipple corrective procedure ?

It depends on the technique used. With some methods, the milk ducts remain intact, so breastfeeding is still possible. In other cases, the ability to breastfeed may be impaired. If you wish to have children, we will discuss this in detail during your Consultation and choose the method that is right for you.

When will the results be visible?

The final shape of the nipples becomes apparent after complete healing, usually after three to six months. The results are generally permanent.

How much does a nipple corrective procedure cost?

In a personal preliminary consultation, our German board-certified specialists in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery will advise you, including a medical assistant , as every nipple corrective procedure is individual. In cases of medical necessity—for example, pronounced inverted nipples with breastfeeding difficulties—coverage by health insurance may be possible in individual cases. Since our practice cannot bill health insurance companies directly, we unfortunately cannot offer assistance in this regard.
