Breast Nipple Correction

Nipple correction is a precise surgical procedure that plays an important role in the process of surgical gender affirmation – both in FTM mastectomy patients and MTF breast augmentation patients. The aim of the procedure may be to reduce the diameter of the areola, reposition the nipple, correct asymmetry, or shape the nipple in accordance with the patient's gender identity.

The course of the procedure

The procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia (depending on the scope).

It involves making appropriate incisions and shaping the nipple and/or areola – e.g., reducing its diameter, reducing protrusion, or correcting asymmetry.

In the case of transgender individuals, it is possible to remove part of the hair follicles and adjust the shape of the areola to a more "feminine" or "masculine" appearance.

The procedure takes approximately 30–60 minutes and is performed on an outpatient basis—the patient returns home the same day.

Recovery and post-treatment recommendations:

Minor bruising and swelling may occur for a few days.

Sutures are usually removed after 7–14 days.

Dressings should be changed as recommended by your doctor.
