Areolar and Nipple Correction Facts

Is it right for me?

Areolar and Nipple Correction surgery is a highly individualised procedure and may not be suitable for everyone. Dr Preketes will assess your condition and general health, and plan the treatment that is best suited to you.

A breast asymmetry correction may be a good option for you if:

You are physically healthy
You have realistic expectations
Your breasts are fully developed
Your breasts are significantly different in size (especially if more than one cup size difference)
Your breasts are significantly different in shape i.e. one is sagging and has lost its shape and firmness compared to the other breast
One breast is lower than the other

Remember that the shape and size of your breasts before surgery will influence the surgical procedure and the outcome.

What are the risks?

General risks and complications

All surgeries have potential risks and complications that can arise. Some generalised risks are:

A blood clot in the deep veins of the legs (deep vein thrombosis), which can move to the lungs (pulmonary embolus) or to the brain and may be life threatening
Pain and discomfort
