Reshaped Nipples. Beautiful Breasts.

The nipples are important elements of your breasts—and they can affect how you feel about your entire appearance. It’s common for women to report that their nipples have changed due to aging, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, and they no longer feel as confident in their chest appearance.

Even though your nipples are small structures, Dr. Wingate understands the impact they can have. He also knows how powerful subtle changes can be in sculpting breasts that are both beautiful and natural.

Enhancing the Nipples: What is Possible?

Areola Reduction

Your areolas are the pigmented circles that surround your nipples. Their size can vary—and some women have areolas that are larger than average. When this occurs, Dr. Wingate can reduce the size relatively quickly.

He’ll simply make an incision around the border of the areola and remove small portions of the pigmented skin. If one areola is larger than the other, he can adjust the size accordingly to ensure a beautifully balanced appearance.

Inverted Nipple Correction

If a nipple points inward or is completely flat (no projection), it’s called “inverted.” Dr. Wingate can correct nipple inversion by strategically placing an incision that can push the nipple outward. This can be done without harming the milk ducts, thus preserving your ability to breastfeed in the future.

Nipple Elevation

If you’re experiencing the inevitable drooping breasts that happens with age, there’s a good chance that your nipples are also affected. In this case, Dr. Wingate will usually perform a breast lift and a nipple adjustment. Once your breast tissue has been elevated and shaped, he can move your nipples to a higher location on your chest so they create a youthful and perky appearance.

Nipple ProceduresFrequently Asked Questions

Can I combine nipple surgery with my breast surgery?

Absolutely. In fact, many of our patients choose to correct the appearance of their nipples while they’re having their breast augmentation, breast lift, or breast reduction.

How long does nipple surgery usually take?

Most nipple procedures are relatively brief and often completed within about an hour. The exact timing depends on the type of correction being performed.

Will I have noticeable scars after a nipple procedure?

Incisions are typically placed along natural borders of the nipple or areola to keep scars discreet. As healing progresses, these marks usually become difficult to notice.

Is nipple surgery performed under general anesthesia?

Some nipple procedures can be performed with local anesthesia, while others may be completed alongside breast surgery using general anesthesia. The anesthesia plan depends on the procedure and whether other treatments are performed at the same time.

Will sensation change after nipple surgery?

Temporary changes in sensation can occur as the tissues heal. In many cases, sensation gradually returns as the area recovers.

How long is the recovery after nipple surgery?

Recovery is usually straightforward, particularly when the procedure is performed on its own. Most patients resume normal daily activities within a few days while avoiding pressure on the area during early healing.

Can nipple surgery affect breastfeeding?

Some procedures are designed to preserve the milk ducts whenever possible. Your surgeon will discuss how the specific technique may affect breastfeeding in the future.

At what age can someone consider nipple correction surgery?

Nipple procedures are typically performed once breast development is complete. Your consultation will help determine whether the timing is appropriate for surgery.

Are nipple procedures only performed for cosmetic reasons?

While many patients seek aesthetic improvement, others pursue treatment to correct structural concerns such as nipple inversion or changes following breast surgery.
