Male Nipple Correction

In men, the nipple has an average length of 25 millimetres (40 to 100 millimetres in women). Of course, it's all about being happy with your own body.

If your male nipples are on the large side, then nipple reduction offers a solution. If your nipples protrude, stick out fiercely or are too long, the treatment (shortening or reducing the size of your nipple) is a good choice. The procedure takes about 30 minutes and is done under local anaesthetic.

Your areola is the round piece of dark skin surrounding your nipple. Over the years, the areola can grow larger due to hormone fluctuations and age. An oversized or undersized or misshapen areola can also be congenital. If your areola is swollen, you probably have excess mammary gland tissue or fat in your breast, under your areola.

Under local anaesthetic, the areola can be reduced or adjusted. The scar fades into the edges of the areola. It turns a little red at first and becomes less and less visible from 3 months.

Men can also have retracted nipples. If the nipple is deeper than the level of the areola we call it a retracted nipple. This can also manifest itself in one nipple. With a nipple correction for men, the nipple can be loosened and reshaped.

By the way, retracted nipples in men can occur later in life, for example due to certain medication use and hormone fluctuations.

ATTENTION: If you suddenly suffer from a retracted nipple, we recommend you contact your GP to determine its cause.

Women can also come to Wellness Kliniek for a nipple correction. They can optionally combine the nipple correction for women with breast augmentation with implants, a breast lift or a breast reduction.

There can be numerous reasons to opt for nipple correction surgery. For example, some people think their nipples are too big. Another finds them sticking out too much, and yet another finds them too thick or too retracted.

Do you have large or weird nipples? Nipples that are protruding or retracted? Do you notice that your nipples are uneven? Then this procedure is ideal for you. You decide what you like and discuss your wishes with the plastic surgeon.

Most men know exactly what they want and are immediately in tune with the plastic surgeon. If you have certain wishes or ideas, you will discuss them with the doctor, who will be happy to inform you about the treatment options. The aim is to achieve a final result to your liking. Of course, you may bring photos of nipples that appeal to you, so that the surgeon at Wellness Kliniek can advise whether this is possible.

It is important to distinguish between the nipple (the protruding part) and the areola (the dark skin around the nipple). There are numerous treatment options. The goal of nipple correction surgery is always to achieve an end result that the patient is happy with.

In nipple correction surgery, we reduce or shorten the nipple. The doctor may also pull out a retracted nipple. However, it is also possible to make the areola smaller, or give it a different shape. Beautifying your nipples and areola can possibly be combined in one operation.

Nipple correction usually takes about 30 minutes and is performed under local anaesthesia. The surgeon makes discrete incisions on or around the nipple or in the areola. The plastic surgeon discusses in detail beforehand what the procedure entails in your case, so you know where you stand.

The recovery period after a nipple correction is usually very short. Most patients experience little or no bruising, very little swelling and hardly any additional sensitivity at the incision site. The sutures are dissolvable, and thus dissolve automatically without additional treatment. You are of course welcome for a (free) check-up appointment, but little or no specialised aftercare is required. Recovery after nipple correction is short usually goes very smoothly. Most men return to work the very next day.

When you opt for a nipple correction, you naturally want the scars to remain as invisible as possible. The surgeons at Wellness Kliniek are specialists in breast surgery and choose the incision technique with precision. The aim is for the nipple correction scar to heal as quickly as possible after the procedure and for you to see as little of it as possible later.

There are numerous nipple correction surgery methods, and thus just as many different scar incision methods. After all, every man has different wishes and needs. A nipple correction, and thus the nipple correction scar, is a tailor-made treatment.

The scars are almost invisible at first and will fade even further over time. They are placed in such a way that they are not very noticeable anyway. The scar is usually hidden in or around the skin of the nipple or areola. The skin of the nipple heals quickly, so the scar is hardly visible after nipple correction.

Yes! A nipple correction for men can also be combined with breast reduction for men.

Breast gland tissue and fat in the breasts are considered unattractive by most men. This is a good reason for men to have breast reduction surgery. This procedure is also known as gynaecomastia surgery. This involves removing excess breast tissue (gynaecomastia formation) and/or fat to create a beautiful and masculine chest. Of course, the surgeon will always talk to you beforehand to see which procedure is best for you.

Absolutely! It is always possible that one nipple is larger than the other. We can well imagine that you are less satisfied with this. By getting a nipple correction for men, we call a halt to this discomfort once and for all.

In some cases, men suffer from breast swelling that comes on suddenly. Such a swollen nipple or nipples is most common in boys of puberty or in men over 50 years old. You feel a kind of disc-shaped swelling behind the nipple.

In this form, growing and sensitive nipples in men are generally not a cause for concern. They are often the result of hormone fluctuations, and can also result, for example, from certain medication use, an illness or dietary supplements.

In doubt about the cause? Then we recommend contacting your GP. Often the cause is harmless, but it is of course important to be sure.
