Nipple Correction/Areola correction
Surgical correction of the areola or areola surgery is an operation aimed to correct the size and shape of the areola. It can be carried out as a separate surgery or combined with a breast lift, breast plastic surgery or nipple correction.
Indications
- Areola asymmetry.

General contraindications: mastopathy, cancer, cardiovascular and acute infectious diseases, chronic hypertensive disease, thyroid disorders, diabetes mellitus, blood-clotting disorder, patients under 18 years old, pre-arranged pregnancy, recent lactation.
Methods of areola correction
- Circumferential correction is used in order to reduce the size of the areola, two circumferential incisions are made in this case. One incision – along with the contour of the areola, the second incision – closer to the nipple. Excess tissue is removed, the remaining part of the areola is stitched to non-pigmented tissues.
- In case of sector or partial correction (resection), a triangular piece of the areola is removed and the incision edges are stitched.
- During breast lift or breast reduction surgeries, the nipple-areola complex is shifted upwards and excess tissues are removed at this time.
