Naperville Nipple Surgery doctors

Asymmetry of the nipples and breasts is not uncommon in women.  In fact, most people have asymmetry of most of their body areas; eyes, ears, hands, etc.  In your case, an elevation of the drooping nipple can be done, sometimes under local anesthesia.  Assuming that your breast gland volume is the same, that would be all you need.  Without an examination (or a  photo) it is difficult to give you any other information.  Costs will vary with the type of procedure needed and anesthesia required.

You may be describing gynecomastia or excessive male breast tissue, and that is surgically treatable. That typically involves the nipple/areolar complex which you may be referring to as just the "nipple". If you specifically have just the nipple protrude too much, that is also treatable with a simple procedure.

More commonly, however, men have excessive breast tissue or gynecomastia, and that can be treated with removal of the breast tissue. At times, liposuction is also useful to contour the rest of your chest area. Sometimes, you can use liposuction alone which decreases your scarring.

The best thing to do is consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who can review your medical history to make sure the excess breast tissue is not medically related (such as hormonal imbalance, medications, and even marijuana use is a culprit).

If there is no medical cause, then surgical correction is a good option to give you a more masculine appearance, to help with form fitting clothing as well as just walking down the beach. I hope this helps.

I believe what you are referring to is the nipple/areola complex together. They are rarely removed and reattached as a graft. Typically, that is done with patients who require very large breast reductions. The most common approach in a breast lift or reduction is to leave the nipple/areola complex attached to a segment of breast tissue - called a pedicle - so it can retain its blood and nerve supply. They are then repositioned into their new location which is higher up on the chest so you can have a lifted or more youthful appearance.

Each patient is different and you can discuss your specific needs with your board certified surgeon. I hope this explains a bit about the process. There are some videos available that help with visualization of the process - ask your surgeon about it.
