Nipple and Areola Correction at Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center

Nipple and areola correction is a surgical procedure aimed at improving the aesthetic appearance of the nipples and areolas. This procedure may be necessary due to trauma, changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding, congenital abnormalities, or reconstructive surgeries such as mastectomy.

At Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center, nipple and areola correction is performed using advanced techniques to achieve a natural and aesthetically pleasing result.

Indications for Nipple and Areola Correction:

Asymmetry of nipples and areolas – when one breast has a different nipple and areola shape or size compared to the other.
Inverted nipples – a condition where the nipples are retracted instead of protruding.
Changes after pregnancy and breastfeeding – loss of shape or volume due to hormonal changes.
Trauma or previous breast surgeries – correction after injuries, surgical procedures, or reconstructive operations (e.g., after mastectomy).
Congenital nipple and areola defects – abnormalities in size or shape present from birth.

Surgical Procedure Overview:

1.Consultation:

The surgeon evaluates the size, shape, and condition of the nipples and areolas.
The desired outcome and the most suitable correction method are discussed based on the patient’s needs.
The patient’s medical history is reviewed to assess any contraindications.

2.Surgery:

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on complexity.
The surgeon reshapes, resizes, or recontours the nipple and areola. If the nipples are inverted, a special technique is used to bring them outward.
The surgery typically lasts 1 to 2 hours.

3.Postoperative Recovery:

The patient can usually leave the clinic within a few hours after surgery.
Some swelling, mild pain, or discomfort may occur but can be managed with medication.
Wearing compression garments or dressings may be required.
The recovery process takes a few weeks, after which the patient can return to their normal routine.
