Candidates For Nipple Areola Correction
Nipple areola correction can be a life-changing procedure for women who are dissatisfied with the appearance of their nipples or areolas. The surgery can help create more proportionate, balanced-looking, and aesthetically pleasing breasts.
Appropriate candidates often include women who:
• Feel Unhappy with Nipples and Areolas: Women may be ideal candidates for nipple areola correction surgery if they don’t like the way their nipples and areolas look. Common complaints include overly large nipples, overly protruding nipples, nipple asymmetry, puffy nipples, and oversized areolas. Any concerns about the size, shape, or placement of your nipples and areolas may qualify you for the surgery.
• Feel Happy with Overall Appearance: The best candidates for this surgery have a generally positive self-image but would like to improve one or two aspects of their appearance.
• Have Good General Health: You must have good overall health to undergo anesthesia (local or general) for nipple areola correction surgery.
• Understand What to Expect: Realistic expectations are crucial for nipple areola correction (and all plastic surgeries). Dr. Greenwald explains what you can expect and helps you shape your expectations before surgery. Patients with realistic expectations are consistently the most satisfied ones.
Your consultation with Dr. Greenwald covers all these topics and helps you design the best treatment plan for your goals.
What if You Want Other Surgeries, Too?
If you want a bigger change that affects the whole breast, that doesn’t rule you out as a candidate for a nipple areola correction. Many women request a combination procedure, such as a breast lift or breast reduction, alongside their nipple-areola correction surgery.
Combining surgeries can create a balanced, youthful look with proportionate breasts that match your body. Dr. Greenwald customizes techniques for every woman’s unique anatomy and goals.
