Working with MOOI to connect the dots.
At MOOI Clinic, we’re all about helping you find your own breasts MOOI again. Very large nipples or retracted nipples can disrupt affect this, and fortunately, you can do something about it. If you’re thinking about a nipple correction or nipple reduction, we at MOOI would like to explore this with you. During the consultation with the plastic surgeon at our private clinic in Maastricht, we’ll tell you in detail what the options are and explain what would be best for your body. We take all the time needed to answer your questions.
When to have a nipple correction or reduction?
You’re satisfied with your breasts, except for your nipples. You think the areola is way too big or is not nicely rounded. In addition, you may find that the nipple itself is much too large, so it always sticks out. Retracted nipples are also more common and can also be corrected.
Not satisfied with the position of your nipples? Because they point very down or have sunk below your breast fold? Then we recommend a breast lift. Nipple areola reduction is also commonly used in breast reduction surgery.
During the consultation, we look at your needs and options. MOOI only performs procedures for uninsured care.

The consultation from A to Z
You come to MOOI Clinic in Maastricht to discuss your nipple correction. During the consultation, you’ll speak with the plastic surgeon who specializes in this surgery about everything from general information on pre- and aftercare, to specific details about the procedure.
We also take photos for your medical records today. After the consultation you will be informed about everything concerning your nipple correction. You’ll receive honest advice from us about the expected result, risks, recovery and costs. We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum.
An initial consultation involves a €50 consultation fee, which will be deducted from the treatment price.
The intervention
Nipple correction or nipple reduction is done under local anesthesia so you won’t feel anything. With a retracted nipple, the milk ducts that pull the nipple inward are loosened. In a areola reduction, we remove some of the pigmented skin around the nipple. We do this through an incision around the outside of the areola or around the nipple. We can also shrink an oversized nipple or areola. We suture the incisions with soluble sutures. The procedure takes about thirty minutes to an hour.
If all goes well then you can go home immediately after the procedure and with the surgeon’s approval.
Aftercare and recovery
Before surgery, you will receive detailed post-operative instructions and living rules from us. It is important for your own recovery that you follow these carefully. After treatment, bruising may form and the nipples may be swollen.
Recovery of your nipples is generally fast. Count on 2 to 4 weeks for full recovery here, depending on the procedure. However, you can return to work after a few days if it feels good and does not involve physically demanding work.
Risks
As with any surgery, there is a chance of bleeding, infection or impaired wound healing with nipple correction or nipple reduction surgery. This is usually not serious and easily remedied.
There is a small chance of numbness of the nipples, decreased sensation or sometimes even inability to breastfeed.
QUIT SMOKING
We advise all our clients to quit smoking around the time of treatment. The same applies to the use of nicotine patches and gum. Smoking not only makes you less MOOI on the outside, but also on the inside. If you smoke, you have a higher risk of complications such as poor wound healing, skin shedding or respiratory problems with general anesthesia.

Your desire and reasons for doing a nipple correction or reduction is personal. It is very important to us that you feel good about your choices. The results of these surgeries are always unique. However, you can read the experiences of patients who chose MOOI Clinic via ZorgkaartNederland.nl.
From the beginning to the end so nicely helped, super friendly lovely staff, and a compliment to Dr Feijen…. If needed I will definitely choose this clinic again.
A few weeks ago I had a breast lift, with lipofilling performed by Dr. Meesters. I insisted on being treated by her and certainly do not regret it. From beginning to end super fine guidance. She is very professional, clear, honest and thinks with you to get the best possible result. Beforehand it was difficult to estimate what the result would be, because implants were removed, but the result is better than I could have hoped for. Am very happy with it!
Have been helped by Dr. Feijen 27-7-2020 for removal and placement of new breast implants with breast lift. Results are amazing have become very beautiful, scars are also very nicely done. I find her very knowledgeable and also committed to the patient. Thanks.
