Areola Reduction & Inverted Nipple Correction

Plastika Praha offers focused surgical corrections of the nipple-areola complex under local anesthesia: reduction of enlarged or stretched areolas (from 26,000 Kč) and release of inverted (retracted) nipples (from 22,000 Kč). These walk-in procedures are performed personally by MUDr. Tomáš Doležal in the clinic's minor procedure rooms in Prague 3, take under an hour, and require no overnight stay — a proportionate, low-downtime fix for concerns that often persist after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change.

Not every breast concern requires a full augmentation, lift, or reduction. Two of the most common isolated complaints — areolas that have enlarged or stretched (often after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight fluctuation) and congenitally inverted nipples — can be corrected as standalone procedures under local anesthesia. **Areola reduction (from 26,000 Kč):** A ring of pigmented areolar skin is excised around the perimeter and the surrounding skin is closed to the new, smaller diameter, leaving a fine scar at the areola border where it blends with the pigment transition. The procedure restores proportion between areola and breast and can modestly tighten the central breast skin. It is frequently combined with other breast surgery but works well alone. **Inverted nipple correction (from 22,000 Kč):** Nipple inversion is usually caused by short lactiferous ducts and fibrous bands tethering the nipple inward. Through a small incision at the nipple base, the tethering tissue is released and the nipple is secured in its everted position with internal sutures. Patients considering future breastfeeding should discuss this at the consultation, as duct release can affect lactation depending on the grade of inversion and technique required. **Practicalities:** Both procedures are category B on the clinic's price list — local anesthesia, no hospitalization. They take roughly 30–60 minutes, discomfort afterward is mild and managed with standard analgesics, and most patients return to work the next day. Sutures and dressings are managed at follow-up visits, and as with every procedure at this clinic, the surgery and all checks are done by Dr. Doležal himself.
