NIPPLE REDUCTION

A nipple reduction is a surgical procedure which is performed to reduce nipple size.

Nipples may protrude as if they are always erect, be enlarged, or be droopy and long which for some people can cause embarrassment and make certain clothes uncomfortable to wear.
The area around the nipple (the areolar) may also be enlarged or uneven in shape.
Breast feeding can contribute to changing the shape and size of nipples, making them longer and less attractive.
Enlarged nipples can have an effect on the way people feel about themselves, whether naked or fully clothed.
A consultation with the surgeon will be able to determine if the procedure is suitable for you and will enable you to come to an informed decision.

Any scars in this area usually heal very well and can be easily concealed.
The location of any scars will depend on whether you have nipple or areola reduction, and can be discussed with the surgeon before you proceed.

The procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia.

You may experience some mild discomfort after surgery; however recovery time is normally quite quick. You can usually resume normal everyday activities within a day or two.

Full information of the risks involved, and what you can expect to experience, will be provided to you by your surgeon before the procedure.
