Nipple Correction
A nipple correction — also known medically as mammary correction — is a gentle surgical procedure to correct the shape, size, or position of the nipples. The procedure can be performed for aesthetic reasons or may be advisable in cases of medically or functionally induced changes.
At the Fontana Clinic in Mainz, we attach great importance to careful diagnosis, realistic advice based on your wishes and medical circumstances, and a natural-looking result.

What is nipple correction?
Nipple correction involves various surgical techniques that can be used to specifically adjust the nipple or areola. The aim is to improve the harmony of the breast, physical well-being and, if medically indicated, function.
The procedure is relatively minor, but requires great precision and experience, as the nipple is sensitive and plays a central role both anatomically and aesthetically.
Why nipples are so important for aesthetics, body image, and function
Nipples play a central role in the aesthetic perception of the breast. The shape, size, position, and symmetry of the nipples have a significant influence on whether a breast is perceived as harmonious and balanced—regardless of its size.
For many women, nipples are also closely linked to their personal body image, self-confidence, and female identity. Even small deviations can lead to the breast being perceived as “inappropriate” or “out of place,” even if the rest of the breast volume is perceived as satisfactory.
In addition to their aesthetic significance, nipples also have a functional and sensitive role. Changes can have an impact on, among other things:
- Physical sensation
- Sexual well-being
- In certain cases, breastfeeding ability or skin irritation
Nipple correction therefore not only aims to achieve external changes, but can also contribute to a more harmonious body image and increased well-being. We take these aspects into account explicitly and with the necessary sensitivity during the consultation.
Dr. med. Klaus Niermann
Specialist for aesthetic plastic surgery
Dr. med. K. Niermann, head physician of the clinic, has successfully performed a great many operations in the field of aesthetic plastic surgery.

What is the procedure for nipple correction?
Nipple correction is planned individually and is usually performed:
- on an outpatient basis
- under local anesthesia or short general anesthesia
- using gentle, scar-minimizing techniques
The operation is usually short. Existing structures are preserved as much as possible in order to maintain sensitivity and blood circulation.
Risks
Nipple correction is a relatively low-risk procedure. However, as with any surgery, certain side effects may occur:
- Temporary changes in sensitivity
- Swelling or minor bruising
- Rarely, wound healing disorders
Thanks to our careful surgical planning and experienced specialists, risks can usually be minimized very effectively.
How much does nipple correction cost?
The cost of nipple correction starts at around €3,000.
The exact price depends on the extent of the procedure and the individual’s initial situation.
During a personal consultation, you will receive a transparent and comprehensible cost breakdown.
