Nipple Correction

Small details. Personal priorities.

Proportion, thoughtfully considered.

The individual comes first

Your goals. A considered approach.

Nipple correction can address concerns about inversion, projection, or size. Your consultation at Papillion Plastic Surgery in Nashville explores your anatomy, breast health, and goals to determine whether a procedure is appropriate.

01 · Your options

Consider shape, function, and timing.

A thoughtful plan starts with your individual assessment. These are the details to explore together.

Inverted nipples

Discuss whether an inward position is longstanding or new. A new change, especially with a lump or discharge, needs medical evaluation before cosmetic treatment.

Size and projection

Review the specific change you want and the limits of correction. The plan may differ for each side.

Future breastfeeding

Surgery may affect milk ducts and sensation. Share pregnancy and breastfeeding plans before choosing a technique or timing.

02 · Your consultation

A conversation comes first.

Bring your questions about nipple correction. Share your health history, medications, prior treatments, and what you hope to change. Your consultation is also a chance to discuss alternatives and whether treatment is right for you.

  1. Share your priorities

    Tell us what matters to you, including what you want to preserve. Reference photographs can help explain your preferences.

  2. Explore your options

    Review the recommended approach, realistic outcomes, limitations, and risks. Take the time you need to ask questions.

  3. Plan the practical details

    Discuss your quote, preparation, follow-up, and support at home. Leave with a clear understanding of the next steps.

03 · Recovery

Make room for your recovery.

Protect the treated area from pressure and friction as instructed. Your team will explain dressings, incision care, and activity restrictions. Swelling and sensitivity can change during healing; attend your scheduled follow-up visits.

04 · Important considerations

An informed choice is a personal one.

Risks include scarring, bleeding, infection, asymmetry, altered sensation, impaired healing, and recurrence of inversion. Nipple surgery can affect breastfeeding ability, and further correction may be needed. Your consultation includes a fuller discussion of risks, alternatives, and your individual suitability.

Common questions

Let’s talk through it.

Can correction be performed on just one side?

A plan can focus on one or both sides, depending on your anatomy and goals. Perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed.

Will I be able to breastfeed afterward?

Breastfeeding ability depends on your anatomy and the procedure. Techniques may affect ducts and nerves, so discuss this priority before deciding on surgery.

How much does nipple correction cost?

Your individual plan determines your quote. Ask what is included, which fees may be separate, and whether follow-up or future treatments have additional costs.

How do I get started?

Call our team or send a consultation request. We will help arrange a conversation about your goals, medical history, and next steps.
