What is Nipple Reconstruction?

Corrective surgery

Enhanced appearance

What does it do?

Nipple reconstruction is a surgery that may also include tattooing or both to give your reconstructed nipple and areola better definition, shape, and colour. This procedure is commonly done after a mastectomy due to breast cancer when the entire breast needs to be removed.

It is also called nipple correction surgery, which can address problems with the appearance of your nipples. It can help with issues commonly experienced if you have nipples that stick out or lie inverted. At Harley Street Skin Clinic, it is usually performed as day care surgery with local anaesthesia, minimal downtime, and is designed to boost your confidence with excellent results.

Several benefits include:

  • Enhanced appearance
  • Increased confidence
  • Quick recovery
  • Permanent result

Types of Nipple Reconstruction

Nipple Lift for Low Nipples

If your nipples fall too low on the breasts, you can have them lifted to a better position. This can be performed during a breast lift or reduction. There will be a permanent scar around the areola area, but results are immediate. Functionally significant sensation and breastfeeding ability are usually maintained.

Nipple Reduction for Enlarged Nipples

Big, droopy nipples can come from breastfeeding or just droop over the years. This surgery can decrease the size of your nipple to make both look better and symmetrical. It can be performed under local anaesthesia with minimal downtime or combined with other breast surgeries.

Inverted Nipple Surgery

Inverted nipples can develop at any time and do not erect the way most normal ones would. Surgery is typically used to release the underlying tissues, but doing so can interfere with breastfeeding. The surgery is done under local anaesthesia. Results are immediate, and it has an excellent satisfaction rate. It may be used in combination with other breast surgeries.

Accessory Breast Tissue and Extra Nipples

In some cases, extra breast or nipple tissue appears along the chest or abdomen. Some appear like moles, while others become noticeable scars or lump masses. Surgery can completely remove these, eliminating the embarrassment, especially if extra nipples start lactating.

Improvement of Areola Irregularity or Asymmetry

It's normal for areolas to differ in shape and size. If surgery is needed, the irregular areas can be shaved flat by removing a little skin to make them even. If necessary, tissue can be removed from your areola to help reduce its size or add augmentation to achieve the perfect size. Correction in symmetry and aesthetic appearance can be integrated within breast reconstruction procedures or reduction surgeries.

Male Chest Enhancement

Gynecomastia, an overdevelopment of breast tissue in men, can develop as early as a teen or later in life. A surgical procedure removes tissue and repositions nipples to a better appearance. These cosmetic procedures significantly enhance both aesthetics and psychological health.

The Nipple Reconstruction Procedure

Nipple correction process

How does nipple surgery work?

By the time you arrive at the clinic, your reconstructive surgeon would start drawing where they're going to make their cuts. The process is typically straightforward and performed under local anaesthesia. Inverted nipples, on the other hand, would require very small incisions at the base of your nipple in order to access and release milk ducts that cause it to be pulled inward. This is where the ducts underneath are either cut or stretched, depending on severity, and pushing the nipple forward.

During the consultation appointment with a practitioner at Harley Street, you can talk about other nipple correction options. On the other hand, a nipple reconstruction surgery after a reconstructed breast procedure should then be scheduled after 4-6 months surgery. Your surgeon will instruct you how to prepare during your initial consultation on what medications should be avoided the night before the procedure.

Duration of the treatment

How long does nipple correction take?

Nipple surgery is an outpatient procedure, meaning that you may go home the same day. In most cases, the surgery is less than an hour.

Timing and preparation for nipple reconstruction

How long do I need to wait for nipple correction surgery after getting reconstructed breast implants?

Nipple reconstruction can take place 3 or 4 months after you have had breast implants placed.

Nipple tattoo after reconstructed breast surgery

Are there non-surgical options for nipple reconstruction?

Nipple tattoos are the go-to option for women who've had cancer and breast reconstruction procedures. Today, the best techniques make tattoos look so real that they can be indistinguishable from actual nipples.

Longevity of nipple reconstruction surgery

Is nipple reconstruction surgery permanent?

The results of nipple reconstruction surgery can be long-lasting, but the new nipples may flatten somewhat over time and tattoos can fade. However, if necessary, you can opt for a touch-up to maintain the post-nipple surgery appearance.

Corrective Nipple Surgery Before & Afters

The remarkable difference a Harley Street Skin Clinic treatment can provide

While there is rarely a medical necessity to undergo nipple correction surgery, the procedure is often found to ease (and sometimes eradicate) self-consciousness regarding the size, shape or visibility of the nipples or areola.

For example, if nipples are extremely pronounced or projecting, patients (both male and female) may find that they are visible through clothes or are perhaps be a source of embarrassment during moments of intimacy. If this is the case, treatment may be geared at reducing the protrusion of the nipples by cutting away a small fraction of the tissue responsible for this. This type of treatment may very well be conducted using only local anaesthesia, and patients are free to return to normality almost immediately.

Nipple Correction Images Available In-Clinic Only

Your body will always influence your confidence levels, but when that influence is negative we aim to step in, and fix whatever is damaging your mind-set and outlook. Despite nipples being a relatively small part of the body, anything you deem as an imperfection in yourself can be a source of psychological distress.

Nipple Correction Images Available In-Clinic Only

Nipple correction is the perfect solution for those with concerns for both size and shape. In addition to more common aesthetic reasons, nipple correction can also be a great option for those suffering discomfort from inverted nipples or, in some cases, those who find that their ability to breastfeed has been impacted.

Nipple Correction Images Available In-Clinic Only

Treatment may involve fashioning a new nipple from soft tissue taken from elsewhere on the body, or simply cutting away from where there appears to be excess. Either way, for inverted, protruding or out of proportion nipples that have been a source of embarrassment long-term, corrective surgery can provide fanastic peace of mind.
