Nipple Correction & Repair in Bellevue, WA
Nipple correction in Bellevue addresses inverted, enlarged, or asymmetric nipples with a quick, precise procedure.
Quick answer
Nipple and areola correction addresses inverted nipples, enlarged or puffy nipples, asymmetry, or areola size. These are typically short, precise outpatient procedures that can dramatically improve the look of the breast — alone or alongside other breast surgery.
Many people are self-conscious about inverted or prominent nipples or mismatched areolae. Dr. Day corrects these with focused techniques — releasing inverted nipples, reducing projection, or resizing the areola — usually under local or light anesthesia with a fast recovery.
Nipple correction is often combined with augmentation, lift, or reduction so the entire breast is refined in one plan.
