What Is Montgomery Glands Removal?
Montgomery Glands Removal is a minor cosmetic surgery that removes the small, raised bumps (sebaceous glands) around the areola. These glands are natural and help keep the nipples moisturized, but some people choose to remove them for cosmetic or personal reasons. The procedure is quick – about 30 minutes – and performed under local anesthesia with minimal pain. Benefits include smoother, more even areola appearance, improved self-confidence, and relief from discomfort or irritation. It is an outpatient treatment with a short recovery time and minimal visible scarring.
How It Works
Montgomery Glands Removal is performed as a minor outpatient surgery. The area around the areola is numbed using local anesthesia with a very fine needle. For added comfort, intravenous anesthesia can also be provided if requested. The doctor then makes small, precise incisions to remove the enlarged glands without damaging surrounding tissue. The procedure takes about 30 minutes. Stitches are used to close the incisions and are removed after 7 days. The surgery is done using fine surgical tools to ensure accuracy, minimal scarring, and a natural-looking result.
