What Is Nipple Reduction?
Nipple Reduction is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to reduce the size and improve the shape of the nipples. Many patients have concerns about the size or shape of their nipples, which can be naturally large or become stretched and enlarged due to factors such as puberty, genetics, pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. These changes can sometimes cause discomfort, self-consciousness, or dissatisfaction with the overall appearance of the breasts.
This procedure focuses on removing extra skin and tissue to create smaller, more proportionate nipples that fit better with the rest of the breasts. By reshaping and resizing the nipples, the procedure can correct uneven or asymmetrical nipples, improve the nipple’s height and width, and create a balanced, natural look. This can boost confidence and comfort for those who feel embarrassed or physically bothered by the appearance of their nipples. Overall, Nipple Reduction is a safe and effective procedure to achieve a more harmonious breasts appearance while maintaining the nipples function.
How It Works
Nipple Reduction works by carefully removing the excess skin and tissue that causes the nipples to look larger or uneven. The doctor at our affiliated clinic reshapes the nipple by making precise cuts, either at the base or the tip, depending on the nipple’s shape and size.
The procedure will be performed under local anesthesia. The new shape and size of the nipple will be carefully outlined along with the area marked for removal. In the case that the nipple is long, the skin at the base will be removed and the remaining will be sewn back; if the nipple is large in size, the nipple skin will be cut out in triangular shape and the remaining will then be sewn. Nipple Reduction at our affiliated clinic is performed based on a technique that preserves the milk ducts within the nipple. This is important because it allows women to continue breastfeeding in the future without complications, making the procedure both cosmetic and functional. In addition, excess tissue may also be trimmed to achieve the ideal results.
