Defining the Ideal Nipple Form

The ideal nipple form plays an important role in achieving the appearance of beautiful breasts. On average, an ideal nipple has a diameter of 1 cm and a height of 7 mm.

Nipple Correction at BongBong

Nipple correction is a cosmetic procedure performed when the nipples are disproportionately large or small compared to the breasts, whether due to congenital or acquired factors, or when the nipples are inverted. The procedure reshapes or adjusts the size of the nipples to achieve an ideal proportion with the breasts.

Understanding Inverted Nipples

Inverted nipples refers to a condition in which the nipples do not protrude normally and are instead pulled inward of the breast.

Inverted nipples can trap sebum, dead skin cells, and other debris, which may cause unpleasant odors and inflammation. They may also make breastfeeding difficult in some cases.

Above all, inverted nipples can affect confidence when the breasts are exposed, making correction an important consideration.

Nipple Lightening

Nipple lightening is a cosmetic procedure for cases where the nipples appear dark or deeply pigmented, whether due to congenital or acquired factors. A specialized solution is micro-injected into the dermal layer of the nipple skin to help lighten the pigmentation and create a brighter, more youthful-looking pink tone.

Nipple Correction Q&A

A. In some cases, inverted nipples may recur even after correction. This can occur when the milk ducts are preserved as much as possible during surgery. Revision surgery can be performed 6 months after the initial procedure.

A. Nipple reduction surgery involves reducing both the height and diameter of the nipple, rather than simply reducing its width. The procedure is performed with careful consideration of each patient’s individual nipple shape and fibrous tissue structure, allowing for a natural result with minimal visible scarring. However, some patients may experience temporary changes in sensation, such as decreased or increased sensitivity, due to stimulation of the nerves.

At BongBong Plastic Surgery, the procedure is performed while preserving the milk ducts and nerves as much as possible. In most cases, altered sensation improves over time, although some degree of reduced sensation may remain.

A. Stitches are typically removed after 2 weeks, depending on the healing process. Since the level of pain is generally mild, you can usually resume your daily activities immediately after surgery.
