Nipple Reduction and Reshaping Surgery
Nipple Reduction is a cosmetic surgical procedure that reduces the size and prominence of the nipples. It involves making precise incisions, removing excess tissue, and reshaping the nipple for a more proportionate and natural appearance.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, requires minimal downtime, and provides a permanent solution for individuals with larger or protruding nipples. Recovery is generally quick, and most patients can resume normal activities within a few days.
Nipple reduction enhances the overall aesthetics of the breasts and can boost self-confidence. It can also be combined with other breast surgeries, like lifts or reductions, to achieve harmonious and balanced results tailored to the patient’s goals.
Nipple Reduction is a surgical procedure designed to decrease the size and prominence of the nipples, addressing concerns for individuals who feel their nipples are larger or more protruding than desired. This procedure helps achieve a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the breasts.
Procedure:
Nipple reduction surgery typically begins with anesthesia, which can be local with or without sedation, or general depending on the extent of the procedure and patient preference. The surgeon makes precise incisions, often around the areolar border, to access the underlying tissue. Excess tissue is carefully removed—sometimes in a wedge-shaped segment—to achieve the desired reduction. The incisions are then closed with fine sutures, and a protective dressing is applied to support healing.
Recovery and Results:
Recovery is usually quick, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. Mild swelling or discomfort may occur initially, but the reduced nipple size is immediately noticeable. The results are generally permanent, creating a natural and proportionate nipple appearance. Benefits include improved breast aesthetics and increased self-confidence, although risks such as infection, scarring, changes in sensation, or asymmetry are possible. A consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to discuss goals, techniques, and individualized care for optimal results.
