Problem Nipples? How to Have the Nipples You Want

Last updated 8 months ago

Nipples aren’t usually something that people think about—unless they’ve got the wrong kind! Fortunately, there are now cosmetic procedures to help correct virtually any nipple problem you might have.

Inverted Nipple Repair

With belly buttons, some people have “innies” while others have “outies:” The same is true of human nipples. Inverted nipples are simply nipples that do not protrude from the body. This condition can happen to members of either sex and sometimes, even on a single individual, one nipple may be normal and the other inverted, making the chest look asymmetrical! Correcting an inverted nipple is a relatively straightforward procedure that involves a small implant placed beneath the nipple to make it “pop” out.

Nipple/Areola Reduction

With this procedure, the area surrounding your nipples—also called the areola—can be significantly reduced. If you don’t like the size or shape of your nipples, then your doctor can remove tissue from the areola, and use sutures to tighten the skin around your “new” nipples. People choose nipple reduction surgery for a variety of reasons: Some patients have simply always had large nipples that made them feel self-conscious, while for others, this surgery is necessary for correction after a breast reduction. After all, what was an appropriately-sized nipple on a double-D cup breast is not going to be the right size for a C-cup!
