Nipple Reduction

Like nipple inversion surgery, nipple reduction is a surgery that many women seek and were not aware that a simple, safe, and predictable operation is available. Nipple reduction surgery is very artistic and predictable. It can be performed under only a local anesthesia and takes about an hour. Through several small and very carefully designed incisions excess nipple tissue is removed, the nipple is reshaped, and can be reduced in both nipple diameter and nipple projection.

 

THE TYPICAL PATIENT

  • Desire for smaller, more natural and youthful appearing nipples.

THE PROCEDURE

  • Anesthesia is local, and the procedure is done in the office and very comfortable.
  • The incision is very inconspicuous, located only on the nipple.
  • The procedure involves small incisions to remove the excess of nipple.
  • Sensation and ability to breast feed can be maintained.
  • Dressings are light and worn for only several days.
  • This can be combined with other plastic surgical procedures.

THE RECOVERY

  • You can go home and resume normal activities immediately.
  • You can shower on the next day after surgery.
  • There is only minimal pain that is mostly gone by the next day and usually does not require any medications.
  • Swelling is mild to moderate and peaks at two to three days then disappears rapidly over the next three weeks.
  • Minimal or no bruising is the usual.
  • The stitches are removed at seven days.
  • There is usually no need to be off work.

THE RESULT

  • Beautiful, balanced and proportioned result and contour.
  • More confident and comfortable in clothing, especially snug dresses.
  • Lasts the rest of your life and always looks better than if you didn't do it.
  • Natural and presentable appearance almost immediately that just continues to get better.
