What Is Nipple Aesthetics In Turkey?

Nipple aesthetics, which is a surgicalprocedure, is common among women and is usually performed on the nipple orareola. Enlargement, smallness, collapse or impaction and the complete absenceof the nipple can be corrected with nipple aesthetics.

This condition is associated with the muscletissue located at the back of the nipple.

In nipple recession, also called invertednipple, the nipple is pulled inward and this is usually because the milk ductsare short. The reason for the occurrence of nipple impaction may be breastsagging, trauma, faulty breast reduction operations, formation of edema,breastfeeding or the covering of the milk ducts by cancer cells..
