Introduction

Nipple and areola reduction surgery is a cosmetic procedure designed to reshape or reduce the size of the nipples and/or areolas for a more proportionate and aesthetic appearance. Many patients seek this treatment due to genetics, hormonal changes, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations that lead to enlarged, stretched, or asymmetrical nipples and areolas.

This surgery is often done for cosmetic reasons, but it can also address discomfort from chafing, embarrassment in tight clothing, or asymmetry. With rising awareness of body positivity and aesthetic balance, nipple reshaping procedures are becoming increasingly popular—especially in cosmetic surgery destinations like South Korea.

Whether you're looking for a subtle refinement or correcting a long-standing concern, nipple and areola correction can provide natural-looking, long-term results. Clinics like Human PS Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul are leading the way with customized, advanced care in this specialized area.

Who Can Benefit from This Procedure?

Nipple and areola reduction is ideal for both women and men who are unhappy with the appearance of their nipples—whether due to size, shape, projection, or asymmetry. Women often seek treatment post-breastfeeding, while men may feel self-conscious about puffy or protruding nipples.

This procedure is also beneficial for individuals transitioning during gender-affirming care, or those who have undergone other breast surgeries and want better symmetry or refinement. It’s also safe for those in good health, with realistic expectations and stable weight.

The emotional benefits are significant—patients frequently report improved body confidence, clothing comfort, and greater satisfaction with their breast aesthetics. At Human PS Clinic, each treatment is personalized to ensure the final outcome matches the patient's body and goals.
