Areola / nipple correction surgery
Areola / nipple shape and size may cause low self-esteem or a lack of self-confidence. Forming beautiful breasts calls for well-proportioned areola and nipples. Additionally, irregularly shaped nipples also hinder functional roles like breastfeeding and may lead to pain, bleeding, infection, and more. Areola / nipple correction surgery can be performed for aesthetic and health improvements. Each patient’s areola / nipple shape and size are used to determine the appropriate correction surgery.
