At our Jacksonville, FL plastic surgery practice, our surgeons specialize in delicate, precise techniques that correct inversion, reduce projection, or refine size and shape all while maintaining natural sensitivity and aesthetic harmony.

Understanding Nipple Reconstruction Procedures

Nipple reconstruction can address several common concerns, including inverted nipples, enlarged nipples, or asymmetry between breasts. These procedures can be performed alone or as part of another breast surgery such as augmentation, lift, or reduction.

What to Expect with Surgery

Preparing for Your Nipple Reconstruction Journey

Nipple reconstruction procedures are typically performed under local anesthesia and take about 30 to 60 minutes per side, depending on the complexity.

During your procedure:

  • The surgeon makes small, precise incisions to release or reshape the nipple
  • For inverted nipple correction, underlying ducts may be gently released
  • For reduction, excess tissue is carefully removed to refine size and projection
  • Fine sutures are placed to minimize visible scarring and promote optimal healing

Most patients return home the same day and resume light activities within a day or two.

Results & Longevity

Recovery from nipple reconstruction is typically quick and comfortable. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur but resolves within days. Patients can usually return to normal activities right away, avoiding direct pressure on the area during early healing.

Final results reveal a natural, symmetrical appearance with improved balance and confidence. Scarring is minimal and typically fades over time.
