Nipple Aesthetic Surgery is performed to correct nipple deformities and alleviate the aesthetic concerns and discomfort they cause. Inverted, abnormally shaped, asymmetrical, or overly prominent nipples can make the breasts appear unattractive, even if they are firm, full, and well-shaped. This can lead to issues in both social and personal life, causing a loss of self-confidence.

With nipple aesthetic surgery, these deformities are corrected, giving the breasts an ideal appearance. Nipple aesthetics not only help women achieve a more feminine and attractive look but also provide men with a more masculine and fit appearance. Due to its practical application and quick recovery, nipple surgery is one of the more comfortable procedures, contributing to the overall aesthetic harmony of the body.
What is Nipple Aesthetic Surgery?
Nipple aesthetic surgery refers to the surgical procedures aimed at correcting aesthetic issues such as inverted, large, or asymmetrical nipples. While nipple deformities may seem like minor or insignificant issues, they can significantly affect the overall appearance of the breasts. An unattractive breast appearance can diminish a person’s confidence, making them feel older and unhappy. Correcting these deformities through nipple surgery is a relatively simple and comfortable process. This allows individuals to achieve an aesthetically pleasing, attractive, and ideal breast appearance.
What are Nipple Deformities?
Nipple deformities negatively impact the aesthetics of the breasts. The most common nipple shape abnormalities that can be corrected through nipple aesthetic surgery include:

Who is Nipple Aesthetic Surgery Suitable For?

Nipple aesthetic surgery is performed on individuals who have abnormalities in nipple size, shape deformities, or asymmetry issues. To be eligible for nipple aesthetic surgery, a person must meet the following conditions: be at least 18 years old, have completed pregnancy and breastfeeding periods, not have cancer, and not be obese.
How is an Inverted Nipple Corrected?
Inverted nipple correction surgery is performed under local anesthesia. After numbing the breast area, the ligaments pulling the nipple inward are cut, and the nipple is supported from underneath to help it protrude outward. Since this procedure is performed near the milk ducts, it can affect breastfeeding, and the patient may not be able to breastfeed after the operation. Techniques that preserve the milk ducts while correcting the inverted nipple may carry the risk of the nipple sinking back over time. Therefore, it is important for the doctor and patient to discuss the risk of losing breastfeeding function before surgery and make a mutual decision. The surgery typically takes around 1 hour to complete.
How is a Large Nipple Corrected?
The diameter of the areola (nipple area) is normally 4-5 cm. In individuals with large nipples, this measurement can reach 6-12 cm. Since large nipples are often seen in individuals with larger breasts, nipple reduction surgery is frequently performed together with breast reduction. If the patient does not wish to undergo breast reduction surgery, nipple reduction can be performed under local anesthesia. The nipple is resized through an incision in the areola. The patient can be discharged the same day and return to daily life.
How is an Accessory Nipple Corrected?
An accessory nipple, which is a congenital condition, typically appears unilaterally or bilaterally along the region from the armpit to the groin. In some individuals, accessory nipples may appear in other parts of the body as well. While accessory nipples do not pose any health risks, they are aesthetically undesirable. Accessory nipples can be easily removed with a minor surgical procedure under local anesthesia in both men and women.
What is the Recovery Process After Nipple Aesthetic Surgery?
After nipple aesthetic surgery, the patient can immediately return to their daily routine. Some swelling, redness, or numbness may occur in the breast area, but these effects usually subside within 1-2 days. Those experiencing pain can find relief with painkillers. Within 2 weeks, the nipple reaches the desired shape. During the two-week recovery period after nipple aesthetics, the following precautions should be taken:
- The breast area should be protected from impacts, and patients should sleep on their back.
- A compression bra should be worn regularly for 2 weeks.
- Hot baths and steam rooms should be avoided after surgery.
- Strenuous activities should be avoided.
- Will There Be Scars After Nipple Aesthetic Surgery?
The incision for nipple aesthetic surgery is made in the brown area of the nipple (areola), and since the incision is small, it does not leave noticeable scars. The scar, hidden within the bikini area, gradually fades over time and does not create an unpleasant appearance.
Are Nipple Aesthetics Permanent?
Nipple aesthetic surgery provides a permanent solution to issues such as inverted nipples, large nipples, asymmetrical nipples, accessory nipples, or non-circular nipple shapes. These issues do not recur, and there is no need for additional surgeries in the future.
What Are the Advantages of Nipple Aesthetic Surgery?
The benefits and advantages of nipple aesthetic surgery include:
- Correcting nipple deformities to achieve an ideal nipple appearance.
- Enhancing the attractiveness and aesthetics of the breasts by achieving the desired nipple shape.
- It is a minimally invasive procedure performed under local anesthesia with a quick recovery process.
- It is a lifelong, permanent solution.
- Women who could not breastfeed due to inverted nipples may be able to breastfeed after this procedure.
- It boosts the patient’s self-confidence and improves their mood.
- It positively affects the patient’s sexual life.
- The procedure is painless, risk-free, and safe.
Is Nipple Aesthetic Surgery Performed on Men?
Nipple aesthetic surgery is also performed on men who experience issues such as large nipples, inverted nipples, or accessory nipple deformities. These problems can be corrected through nipple aesthetic surgery, allowing men to achieve a more standard and aesthetically pleasing nipple appearance.
