Nipple & Areola CHECK POINT by Case

The size and shape of the nipples and areola vary for each individual, and various concerns may arise due to congenital factors or lifestyle changes.

  • 01
    Ideal Nipple & Areola

    Nipples are appropriately protruded with a natural ratio to the areola.
    This serves as a standard to check if the nipple and areola shape matches the breast proportions.

  • 02
    Inverted Nipple

    A state where nipples are turned inward or not protruding,
    which can occur due to congenital causes or milk duct structures, often requiring correction.

  • 03
    Nipple Reduction

    A correction method performed when the nipple size or degree of protrusion is excessively large.
    Naturally improves nipple size and shape to match breast proportions.

  • 04
    Areola Reduction

    A correction method performed when the areola is wide or left-right sizes differ.
    Adjusts areola size to match breast size and proportions for a well-balanced breast line.

THE PRIDE Inverted Nipple Stages

  • 01Inverted Nipple Stage 1 (Mild Inversion)

    Normally the nipple is drawn inward, but it easily protrudes when stimulated or pulled by hand.
    A relatively mild stage that sometimes temporarily maintains a normal shape.

  • 02Inverted Nipple Stage 2 (Moderate Inversion)

    The nipple protrudes temporarily when pulled by hand, but goes back inward.
    A case where sustained protrusion is difficult due to milk duct pulling or tissue structure.

  • 03Inverted Nipple Stage 3 (Severe Inversion)

    The nipple is deeply inverted and difficult to protrude or barely comes out even when pulled by hand.
    A case requiring surgical correction due to short milk ducts or strong tissue pulling.

THE PRIDE PLASTIC SURGERY

THE PRIDE Inverted Nipple Surgical Methods

  • 01

    A method of making an incision around the nipple to lengthen and fix the tissues pulling the nipple downward, allowing breastfeeding since milk ducts are not damaged.
    However, it is difficult to apply in cases of severe inversion.

  • 02

    A suitable method for severe inversion or recurrence after surgery, where milk ducts are resected to fix the nipple.
    Because milk ducts are resected, it may affect breastfeeding.
