Nipple Correction

At Michigan Plastic Surgery, we offer several options for inverted nipple correction or correction of other cosmetic concerns involving the nipples. Men and women who are bothered by the size or shape of their nipples can feel more confident in their appearances with one of the following surgical approaches.

Types of Nipple Correction Surgery

Nipple Inversion

Nipple inversion issues often occur during one’s period of growth and development. Other instances where nipple inversion may occur is from scarring due to breastfeeding or even previous breast procedures. This type of nipple correction can be done in conjunction with a breast lift and augmentation, or breast reduction.

Nipple inversion can be treated surgically, but this may risk developing permanent loss of nipple sensitivity or the inability to breastfeed. A non-surgical home-use device; the Advent Niplette can correct inverted nipples without these risks. Dr. Colony is here to assist you with this procedure, call today.

Nipple Enlargement

If you are looking to achieve a more enlarged or erect nipple, this can be done either with the use of cartilage, fat grafting, or possibly injectable fillers. These treatment options are beneficial for patients who are bothered by their inverted or flat nipples.

Nipple Reduction

Heredity, breastfeeding, and natural development can lead to excessive nipple prominence, which can be improved by nipple reduction procedures. If you feel that your nipples are too large or possibly droop at a position that is unsatisfactory, Dr. Colony may be able to excise the part of the nipple that you would like removed. This can be done under local anesthesia and is recommended to those that are done with or do not plan to breastfeed in the future.

Areola Reduction

Areola reductions may be desired by a patient because of a variety of breast conditions and anatomies. Most often this can be experienced in women with very large breasts and breasts that have endured breastfeeding. In general, it is recommended to include this procedure with a breast lift or augmentation after bearing children.

Male Nipple Reduction

Male nipple reduction can be done the same way it is done for a female; however, if there is any unwanted volume attributing to the protrusion your doctor may recommend that you have a procedure to address gynecomastia as well.

Patient Testimonials

Dr. Colony and his staff are amazing. I have called at least 7 times with questions for them (I am getting surgery in May) and they have been so patient, informative, and kind to me. The best part is that they take health and safety very seriously. They care about the patient and care about the work they do and it shows. I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in plastic surgery.

I am beyond thrilled with my choice of a plastic surgeon. Dr. Colony is not only incredibly smart and he's got the bedside manner going for him which is quite hard to find in surgeons. I have not only recommended Colony to many friends, but I've actually realized a couple of friends had gone to him before without me realizing.

Dr. Colony did AMAZING work!!!! I could NOT be happier with my results. I am 6wks post op breast augmentation and I am completely 150% satisfied. I spent 2hrs asking questions in my consultation. He answered every single one of them. The procedure went perfectly and great CRNA and staffing. Great pre/post-op packet given before surgery. Am sooooo pleased with my results!! Couldn't be happier!! Would recommend to everyone, tell everyone about Dr. Colony!!
