About the clinic

Nipple correction at AB Plastic Surgery in Seoul, South Korea, addresses functional and aesthetic concerns through specialized surgical techniques. The clinic holds KAHF accreditation from the South Korean government, which confirms its high safety and quality standards for international patients. Each procedure starts with a detailed diagnosis to help match the nipple shape with the overall breast harmony.

Surgical Methods for Inverted Nipples

The clinic uses two main approaches to treat inverted nipples based on the severity of the condition. For patients who want to breastfeed later, surgeons use the Ssamji suture method. This technique involves a small incision to release tight fibrous tissue. The doctor then fixes the nipple in an outward position while keeping the milk ducts intact. This method helps maintain the ability to produce and deliver milk.

For more severe cases involving heavy fibrosis, the triangular flap method is used. The surgeon makes incisions on both sides of the nipple to create a specific triangular flap. This flap is then sutured to help the nipple protrude permanently. While this method is highly effective for deep inversions, it is typically chosen when breastfeeding is no longer a priority.

Nipple Reduction and Recovery

Nipple reduction surgery adjusts both the length and the width of the nipple. This procedure can be tailored depending on whether the patient needs to preserve breastfeeding function. The clinic performs these surgeries under local anesthesia to keep the patient comfortable during the process. Board-certified anesthesiologists monitor the patient in real-time throughout the entire procedure to maintain safety.

Seeing the computer imaging of my expected result during the consultation was a key moment

Seeing the computer imaging of my expected result during the consultation was a key moment. The surgeon was direct and honest about what was realistic, and I appreciated that he personally handled both the consultation and the open rhinoplasty surgery for my full nose reshaping. The clinic staff has been easy to reach, and their aftercare guide is clear. I’m still healing. Be prepared for additional expenses like Ubers, hotel, recommended post-op meds, and lots of supplies like gauze, tape, and dry mouth spray. My advice for others is to bring a guardian; the first 3 days are very difficult and you will need help. Also, make sure to coordinate your arrival and departure dates so you don't leave before all your post-op care is finished.

The entire process was very organized, efficient and full of all necessary details. Communication responses are quick. Questions are answered with details and lots of backup information. The coordination between ALL the different departments is fantastic. The Clinic is immaculate. The Doctor is so professional and experienced and he has empathy and confidence. Top-notch all-around. And the Clinic is in a very good location. Everyone makes you feel like you matter and they want to make sure you feel happy and satisfied throughout the entire process.

The only thing is to just communicate more the post-op care during the initial phase. That it’s important to not book a flight home too soon after surgery. And that departure is coordinated based upon the surgery type. Also, a “care” bag that includes an emollient lip balm and dry mouth spray, as well as the gauze and tape needed for rhinoplasty. Having these things would help sooooo much with the recovery. My daughter had to go and buy these things separately and I suffered the first night until she was able to buy these items for me. Other than that —- everything else was just great

The support from the surgeon and staff has made all the difference

My biggest worry was how the incision lines would heal and what the final result would be. I'm still in the early stages, but I feel so relieved and grateful. The team achieved a really good lift, and my nipples are already in a good position. The healing itself is progressing—there is some scabbing along the lollipop incision lines, which is to be expected. Honestly, the biggest challenge by far has been sleeping upright. It's tough. But the support from the surgeon and staff has made all the difference. I feel I made the right decision coming here.

The staff is really attentive to your needs. And now that I am home they are still very responsive and concerned about my healing.
