A method of consistent treatment of phonon contributions to the self-energy and gap terms in non-magic nuclei is developed in so-called g 2 approximation, where g is the creation amplitude of a low-lying phonon. The method simultaneously takes into account both usual non-local and local phonon tadpole terms. Relations that allow the tadpoles to be calculated without introduction of new parameters are derived. As an application of the method, the effect of the phonon tadpoles on the single-particle strength distribution, single-particle energies and gap values is considered. Hypothesis of the surface nature of pairing correlations is discussed in the light of the tadpole effect.
