Nipple Revision Surgery in Guernsey & Jersey

Inverted nipple correction surgery is a short procedure, usually performed under local anaesthetic.

More than 1.5 million women in the UK suffer the discomfort of inverted nipples – caused by the pull of connective tissue behind the nipple forcing it inwards, instead of naturally protruding outwards. Not only is it embarrassing, but in more extreme cases inverted nipples can affect your ability to breastfeed. Up to 10-20 per cent of all women suffer from inverted nipples to some degree, and some find it occurs after rapid major weight loss.

Both areola reduction and the correction of inverted nipples are straightforward procedures with minimal downtime. If you are unhappy with the shape or size of your nipples and are considering corrective surgery, the Aesthetic Skin Clinic has an expert surgical team, specialising in breast surgeries, who will consult and guide you on the most suitable treatment.

Nipple-areola reduction surgery is a common desire among patients who are seeking to remove the excess browner area of the nipple. Some patients have extremely large areole, that appear rather dominant on the breasts’ landscape. With a small incision, your surgeon will excise the excess tissue, so that it is more in proportion with the breast. The scar is inconspicuous, as it is discretely placed around the circumference of the nipple.

Although nipple surgery is effective on its own, many people have it in conjunction with breast augmentation, breast uplift surgery or breast reduction. Part of these procedures is to realign the nipple so that it suits the new breast size and shape, and that it keeps its function for breast-feeding and its sensitivity.

With minimal scarring, and downtime, the procedure generally takes between 1-2 hours to perform without the need for general anaesthetic.
