Nipple appearance is an important feature of attractive breasts. The nipple is a projectile surrounded by dark skin- the areola. Albeit, a small area, women are embarrassed by visibility, size, shape or inversion. Rumor had it that one famous TV actress wore pasties over her nipples to prevent them from being visible.
Board Certified Female Plastic Surgeon Dr. Beverly Friedlander
Nipples are a small part of the breast, but like their big sister, they are associated with positive self-esteem when they behave, and embarrassment in social situations or during intimacy when they don’t.
Dr. Friedlander has a great deal of experience correcting these problems, in both men and women. Interestingly, men are plagued by some of the same issues here. While the incidence in men is significantly lower than in women, the problems can be equally distressing. Nipple and areola correction are frequently performed with other cosmetic breast procedures. You may be a candidate for nipple correction if you have any of the following:

Often times, areola correction is done as part of a different procedure. Large areola are routinely reduced and nipple position adjusted during uplift or reduction procedures. Puffy areola are usually a tell tail sign of tuberous breasts in their more severe form and are corrected during that procedure.
Procedures to correct overly projecting nipples and nipple inversion can be performed under local anesthesia and take less than one hour. Of course, they can also be performed with any other breast procedure.

These procedures can be performed under a local anesthesia. Patients can return to work the next day. A protective nipple guard needs to be worn 24/7 for 1-2 weeks. These procedures result in a high degree of patient satisfaction.
