What is Nipple Lift Surgery?

Nipple lift surgery, also known as nipple elevation, is a procedure that repositions the nipple to a higher, more central point on the breast for improved symmetry and a more youthful look. It is often recommended for individuals with downward-facing nipples, nipple asymmetry, or a low nipple position due to ageing, breastfeeding, or weight loss. The procedure can be performed on its own or alongside a breast lift or augmentation, and involves removing a small amount of skin to raise the nipple without reducing breast volume. It is a safe and effective way to subtly enhance the breast’s contour and restore a balanced, proportionate shape.

Dr Cotrufo is known for his surgical precision, compassionate care and attention to detail. Trained in leading medical centres across Europe and Brazil, he uses advanced techniques to reshape and reposition the nipples with minimal scarring and downtime. Whether correcting asymmetry, post-pregnancy changes or congenital concerns, Dr Cotrufo delivers subtle yet transformative results.His Harley Street practice offers a calm, confidential space where you’ll receive fully personalised care.

Is nipple lift surgery painful?

Mild discomfort is expected, but most patients describe it as manageable. During procedure and post-op pain relief ensure a comfortable experience.

Will there be visible scars?

Incisions are placed strategically around the areola or at the base of the nipple to keep scars discreet. They usually fade significantly over time.

Can I combine a nipple lift with other procedures?

Yes. Nipple lifts are often combined with breast lift, augmentation or areola reduction for more comprehensive aesthetic improvement.

What is recovery like?

Most patients return to normal activities within 3–5 days. You’ll be advised to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous movement for 2–3 weeks.

Will I lose sensation?

Most patients retain full or partial nipple sensitivity, though temporary numbness is common during recovery.
